My mrs had a service on her clio recently and they said one of her alloys was mishapen!
Rang around a couple of scrapyards and they only sell as a set of 4! :/
So has anyone had their alloy put back into shape? too expensive? Should i just get one off of ebay?

If it's not too badly damaged then it can be repaired, I got one completely stripped, repaired and re-painted for about £55. If you can find a single one on eBay though, that might be easier and cheaper.

I had a slight flat spot on one of my wheels, a company called renowheel straightened it out and removed some curb rash for £35. My wheels aren't that common though but if they are standard clio wheels Im sure you can find one for about £30-£40

Depends how 'mishapen' it is - I had a quite large flat spot on the old set of alloys on my van which I just had Tom's guy refurb for me with no issues

what do they mean mis-shapen? has your mrs drove over that much potholes the wheel has turned into a square yet the suspension components and alignment are fine?
i would be questioning that tbh.
