Anyone know a workshop in hams that works on alloys?

Postby Quint » Sun Aug 13, 2006 1:34 pm

Crashed my car this morning, nothing too major, as of yet. Came round a corner slightly slippery surface, cold tyres, got a little bit of light on the rear wheels, was fine untill i hit a big puddle of water (for you that were sleeping it was REALLY wet this morning) and just helicoptered, scared the jesus out of me, and i flew into the curb doing a good 50km.

Thought that my hubs would be visiting the floor pan when i heard it hit, but turns out that i just bent my alloy a bit (though i'm hopeing thats all havn't had a good look yet), now i need a workshop in hamilton that can work with alloyed metal or specializes in alloys to bend it back into shape. Any suggestions would be lovely. Oh and if anyone can lend me 5x114.3mm wheels to get around on, i'd be super grateful.

Bummer about the crash dude. I know some people here in hamilton who have bent rims lately and they found that Arrow wheels [http://www.arrowwheels.co.nz/index2.html] in Auckland were best for price and turnaround using couriers.[/url]

hey man, john here, came to your place with carl when you were driving his car that night. i'll try and come over on wednesday night with a spare for you if thats not too far away? if you have gotten any damage otherwise i have a complete car for parts that you can grab bits off. if you get the rim fixed, i'll still be keen on the rims :wink: does it still hold pressure?
