When the lacker is scratched the aly oxidises and becomes porous , I have repaired rims by claming the tyre away from the rim using g clamps and repainting , only do one side at a time then the tyre does not move and the ballence stays the same . |

i had a couple of wheels repaired on my American SUV the alloy was built up due to kerb damage and re- lacquered which cost me £50 a wheel some 8 years ago. This was feasible for me as new alloys would have cost some £400 each. For a mini the repair could be as much as a new wheel that is if they can find the leak. You need to check the cost of repair against the new price of the alloys. :Doh: |
