Went into my local Tyrespot dealers last Tuesday to repair puncture to my NSR tyre. Kid sorting it out for me, damaged the outer rim of the wheel when removing the trye. I actually saw him do it, as my words to him were "You haven't, have you?". Manager came out and said "OK, we'll repair you puncture for nowt". A few year ago, I would probably have said "OK, fair enough" but fook that. I said "sorry mate, that's no good to me. I want my wheel repairing". Trouble was, the wheel had been curbed twice already :headvswal by yours truly and was about twenty times worse than the damage done by them. Mobile repair man came and said "Fook all I can do with that, it needs skimming". Area manager called out and said he would try and find a company that could repair 19" Diamond cut wheels. Anyway, got back to me on Friday saying that he'd managed to find a company in Birmingham (Prestige Wheels I think he said) but it was £120 + VAT + Shipping. I thought, why not push you luck here, so said to area manager. "Look mate, it's going to cost thick end of £160 to repair the wheel and it might not come back right. If the match is out to the other wheels, I won't be accepting it. Safer bet to bite the bullet now and buy replacement wheel (£249.95). Tell ya what I'll do, You pay the £160 and I'll cover the balance". He agreed. :D

Couldn't believe my luck. Went down today to get brand new wheel fitted. :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: I'll post a pic of the damaged wheel so you can see the slight damage compared to the 2 x curb marks I did.

I would recommend Tyrespot to anyone.

Just goes to show, you don't have to just accept it and walk away. Do what the Germans do and say Fook that, get it repaired/replaced.

Excellent news :)
