    Alloy wheel repair's/ welding...

    I know of wheel wizards etc but I have a wheel with a pretty big lump taken out of the outer face.

    Is there anyone that could repair this? Ive found a few places from searching DD but if someone can make recommendations here?

    Thanks.

    What about Wheel Doctor in Tipperary? On the home page there is a fairly substantial chunk missing from the wheel that he repaired:

    Thanks lads, I was actually wondering if Leahy's did that sort of work. I passed by the other day but didn't get a chance to call in.

    I havn't used them ever for welding ever buy they have straightened wheels for me more thatn once when the motorway was being built when the roads were destroyed at the time. their work is always a1 afaik sasha motors do it also but ya get what ya pay for i suppose.
    I assume ya know to show up with the tyre removed as they have no machine to do it.
