should come out with a specialist, not something you can do yourself tho

Unlucky mate. Hope you got them for a good price.

 

[Daniel]

How on earth did you not notice that when you bought them???

Thats not a bend, thats a fold!!

 

[.GAZ.]

ouch.. get ur money back!!

 

[mattjk]

Might be able to hammer it out?? i dont really know probably wouldnt look very good though.

 

[Steve]

Refund time, thats scrap.

 

[Rich]

I would be buying a replacement wheel too.

 

[rich19]

£100 posted he had loads of pictures but said they require refurb, unfortunately due to distance i couldnt see them before purchase but as it was a member off here and not off ebay i didnt expect any buckles

so the general consensus is scrap then? gutted were hoping to get these on the car by next week

That wheel is for the bin without a doubt, I gave a wheel a much smaller buckle than that and it was totally useless after that.

 

[rich19]

nice one! absolutely no chance of finding another second hand and the cost to buy another from renault would be scandalous! god knows what to do now then

cheers for the response people

 

[Nigel]

Take it somewhere to get a second opinion, but i'm pretty sure it'll be scrap.

What wheels are they? f1s?

 

[rich19]

16" oz f1`s, been looking for a par since bought the car 7months ago, over the moon when i found some but looks like my plans will alter slightly

sounds like you got a bargain at £100 posted though, surely you could whack this one on ebay then buy a new one from renault?

 

[rich19]

what are the chances of someone buying a crap wheel on there, i know theres alot of numptys on there but each wheel from renault is £200 iirc

 

[stu-172]

Can a specialist not pull it straight? I've seen worse than that fixed! If he tries and it doesn't work ur not any worse off?

 

[rich19]

not sure havnt had chance to take it anywhere at work now till 10 and on an early tomorrow so was hoping to get an idea on here 1st, will take it when i get chance though

Looks like you got ripped matey which is a bit poo if you as me, this site is meant to be a site for like minded people but some people dont think like me. I would never hink of moving on a set of wheels like that, thats proper s**t, the wheel is scrap go round the guys house who sold it to you and throw it through his front window with a post it attached CHEERS

if anyone repairs that they need shooting! weigh it in for scrap, you'll get £10 for it!
