I bought a set of 17" alloys for my corsa off e-bay a few weeks back, and was informed how one needed refurbing, which I could see. I have had this work done, and when going to get the tyre fitted onto the wheel I was told how it was slightly buckled. My local garage said they wouldn't be able to straighten it for me, so I was just wondering if anyone knew anywhere around the midlands that would do this, and how much it would cost.
Many Thanks Reidy.

Usually the place that will refurb the wheels would do it if you ask them .

If not look in the yellow pages for specialist alloy wheel refurblishers who will do it for you. A1 wheels in Wolverhampton do it im pretty sure .
