The number of silly little arseholes on the road today. Was quietly making my way to Nuneaton through a 2 lane roundabout, had some tit in a Pug next to me, who decided it'd be a great idea to cut across me and undertake a 4x4 as we left the roundabout - giving me the option of either hitting him or swerving for the verge. So obviously I chose the verge and now have a wonderfully kerbed rim.





It's like that most of the way round, just so fucking irritated as there was no reason for it to happen

Rant over, anyone know how I can go about getting it fixed? Guess it'll need ally welding up and relaquering as its a polished rim?

Nope. What good would it do any way? Didn't make any contact, it's me who's caused the damage, even if it was to avoid him.

wouldnt say it would require welding unless the picture doesnt tell the full story ,a reckon chips away or smilar company local and mobile to you would charge 25.00 to get that looking straight again.They are cheaper than you think companies that re-furb wheels we have a customer at work who does it and his going rate is 25.00 for a tip top re-furb on a damaged wheel

Would be easy if it was a normal painted rim, I could fill and fix it myself. The fact it's got that lip is what's buggered it up for me.

Judging from the state of his car he didn't care for it, would have probably rammed me
