Brick vs wheel. Wheel loses

[Marwood]

Some careless so and so left a house brick in the middle of the road. I found it for them. Quite dramatically.

If anyone has or knows of a spare Gransport front wheel (preferably grey...) I'm in the market!

Is it not repairable that's so ****. I've had same problem but managed to get wheel repaired. Good luck in getting a new wheel

Depending on the level of the damage you might get away with a repair.
I have seen rims where chunks have broken apart and were still return to like new condition.

That's bad news, sorry to hear. Have a chat with these guys:

I had a wheel repaired by them some time back and they did an excellent job. Whilst I was there I saw a shattered wheel they were in the process of rebuilding - really incredible to see how they did it; building up layers of weld to the exact composition of the wheel, then machining back to get the OEM shape.

Id check your wishbone on that side too now mate!

Thanks for the suggestion MAF. Certainly far cheaper. Do they guarantee their work? I may be behind the curve but have always been wary about the idea of bending alloy a second time.

Give them a call. They were very knowledgable, quite an impressive company.
