It has covered 344k, so full overhaul is due to be fair. Should then last another 300k hopefully 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

56Doc Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 I took a previous car in for tyres after damaging 2 in a pothole, found 1 wheel not only buckled but had a 2” split in it too! No reliable fix for that sadly. But luckily found a pair of 2nd hand wheels in good condition as spare was space saver of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah sometimes there just too far gone and replacement is only way. 20inch alloys are difficult to keep straight tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
