I appear to have a flat spot on my O/S front alloy, possibly caused by ridiculously pot holed roads around here.

Can you get them repaired? Or is it scrap?

Pretty pissed off, but such is life.

Might go back to 18's to regain some comfort.

Joys of running low profile rubber. May be able to heat it up and knock it out but may possibly crack. Having said that I ran one of my old 19s for months with a flat spot and it was fine.

Have 19's currently.

Standard wheels are 17'' and mine came with 18'' optional extra wheels.

The ride is just too firm with the 19's.

My dad had one of the wheels on his car repaired for £60. Actually failed MOT because of buckle.

Not too bad tbh. They're only rep's but can only buy 4, not 1, so would cost nearly 500 quid

At least I know it can be sorted, cheers
