Hello everyone, I damaged my alloy wheel yesterday and I am quite frustrated. I have never had to fix one before; does anyone know the approximate cost to restore it to its original condition?

Several years ago, I refurbished several 19-inch wheels for approximately £50 each.

What is the status of the paint damage? Will they also respray?

My items were subjected to acid dipping, shot blasting, damage repair using a diamond cutter equipment, and subsequently powder coated.

The issue you will likely encounter is that the wheel will appear incongruous in relation to the remainder.

I inflicted a comparable degree of damage to my front passenger wheel. The most favourable quote I received was from Revive, amounting to £102 including VAT. They approach you.

I would prioritise concerns regarding the tires above the wheels.

It is forthcoming; I have only possessed the vehicle for a few months.

£80 was referenced recently in this discussion.

I have received a quotation of £85, however I must leave the vehicle at the wheel shop for the entire day.

Investing in tires is prudent since they enhance safety and save lives.
I prefer Uniroyal over the inferior options commonly installed by numerous establishments.
