    The Mrs curbed the front alloy :mad: the other week there, they are split rim r90 cross spoke 17” she has only hit the rim so I know this can be ‘fixed’:) can anyone advise of a good place to get the wheel sorted in either the Edinburgh or Arbroath area?

    Also a good cleaning product to use as I understand I can’t use acid on these wheels, but they are driving me made trying to get them clean:evil:.

    not tried john clarks - i have delt with them in the past and i do find them very good, however i would rather get an independent to do this little job a JC's will only use an independent and stick a little margin on for themselves

    Wasn't very expensive. About £40 ish. for one wheel. Took it out of Andrew's spending money that week.
