Only gone and hit a brick in the road at 60!

So I thought I'd share this as it has proper pissed me off!!
Was driving home from work in the rain and swerved too late and hit the brick with the passenger side wheel... This was the result...

anyone know of if its worth repairing and a rough cost.. Or could it be the excuse I need for new wheels

 

[Stueylouey21]

And yeah the wheels need a clean

 

[Rob_Kipper]

Wont be able to repair that.

We use Lepsons down here in Kent for wheel repairs.

 

[Scotty-boi]

That's a new wheel I would say.
Same thing happened to my mate a few weeks ago!

 

[Stueylouey21]

Ahhh noooo, I thought people may say that!

 

[JackJack]

Ouch

Nasty mate lucky it didn't send you off the road if you hit a brick at 60 in the wet.

 

[Stueylouey21]

Yeah was lucky to be honest, was raining pretty hard. There was a massive bang and it knocked the car to one side. I s**t my pants lol. Instant flat.. In the rain.. Not happy!

 

[Nyall]

Coulda been worse I suppose, but yeah, good excuse to buy some new wheels!

Lepsons took a buckle and a flat spot out of one of my old wheels I hit a huge pot hole. Was about £80+ vat to sort might be worth just emailing them a picture

Why does it always hit the weakest part between the spokes the inner rim broke of mine last time I hit a brick grrr!

 

[Stueylouey21]

Yeah could be worth a try I guess, there is a place about 10 mins away from me called wheel guine. My mate knows the people there so I might try them as well!

It may be wise to have your suspension checked out now, Looks like it took one hell of a hit.

 

[Stueylouey21]

yeah I'm gonna take it to get the alignment and front suspension etc checked over! Certainly felt pretty bad in the car just gotta sort out some wheels as well!!
