POT HOLES HAVE MADE THERE MARK was created by kno88y
it was inevitalbe, at some point i knew they would claim something of mine,

a week ago i was driving back from bham on a small back round at night and a van came the other way,
i moved over and BANG BANG, o yes that was the sound i never wanted to hear,
got to a alloy specialist and went to get the car balanced, took off the alloy and i have managed to "flatten" on part of the alloy
so they said they would try and repair for me but once it was hammered into place it split and now i have 4 lovely heavey paper weights in my loft

that said i am asking a huge favour if anyone can help me track down a one off alloy

details are :

MAKE : FOX RACING
MODEL : EVO 3
SIZE : 17"
PCD : 4 X 108
ANY CONDITION AS THEY WILL BE REFURBED

ANY HELP IS MASSIVELY APPRECIATED

check out page 10 for pics

You could try asking Fox Racing themselves, they might know somewhere or sell single alloys

That can be repaired easily. I had one of my wheels on my BMW welded in 2 places on the back of the rim like that at Lepsons in Swindon.
Another one, a rare JDM wheel I had that was cracked in the same area, I got a local engineering firm to weld up and I filed/ground the repair back to the original profile.
