try the wreckers around our area

[billythakid]

nah wreckers are no good , chasing a 17" advanti europa for a 1997 nissan pulsar N15 . just chasing a price for a single rim . Have prices of around $180 atm

i know of a few ppl that have had the council replace their rims after hitting potholes, cause it is up to them to fix the pothole, might be worth investigating

yeah already on that , we have a job number and stuff . looking like we will be chasing them for re-imbursment as we need the rim sorted out this week not in 8 weeks time

[squeak6969]

good luck, you could try ebay for one

[billythakid]

can get it repaired for around 120 - 150 but i wouldn't trust it after the hit it took . would rather fork out the extra 50 and get a new one . It has bent the lip out 2cm and flattened around 5-10cm of the rim if that makes sense . It was a cutout piece of road on the shoulder of a skinny ass street without gutters , truck coming the other way forced her onto the shoulder and hit about a 2 inch high square edge :pinch:

yer your def better off getting it replaced, it would never be the same again if you repaired it.

Cheers for that mate , got it all sorted atm , new rim and tyre stripped and refit $180 going on this arvo .

Time to start chasing the council for re-imbursment now

[Bommie]

good to hear,

keep at it with the council, persistence is the key, believe me

[billythakid]

will do bommie , dont worry about that . Will probably get the bend fixed and keep as a spare later on

[fishingnut]

Get a place called depulu to fix your wheel for you , we use then for our work and selected insurance recommended
