Deep(ish) snow/slush in our village now... popped out to finish the xmas shopping and half way down the village met a van. Now it's wide enough for 2 vehicles to pass but it was a "guess where the kerb acually is" moment... which I got right...

but

Just inside the kerb was a rut of ice obviously made by someone who got the guess wrong... the rut dragged me even closer to the kerb and I managed to free the front...but the rear was not so lucky and it clouted the snow covered kerb....

Hoping it can get touched up.... gutted! RRS gone

Ouch
Thats why i'm in the process of changing my 22" overfinch wheels for some 19" winter wheels & tyres i don't want to damage mine, it makes you feel sick. You could always buy another and use that as your spare now and let me know if it fits in your spare wheel carrier

If you get it repaired choose where carefully. I've had a nightmare recently having the Alfa wheels refurbished. They did a real bodge job which obviously I didn't accept and they have had the car a week now, several times telling me it was ready but they were no better.

I had the Sport wheels refurbished after a spot of off roading and they did a perfect job and were actually cheaper, but this time they were fully booked. WINNER - 2009 ‘Just Doing What It’s Designed To Do’ Award

You just dont get the same finish when you get them refurbished, I would buy a new one.

Kerbed one of my 22" Overfinches whilst in a 4 wheel drift in 8 inches of fresh snow, on opposite lock, supercharger wheezing

Was obviously on a private road and no-one else about to tell me what I kn*b I was

Hi there,
Sorry to hear about the problem, I feel your pain. I too have few upsetting marks on my wheels.

However, just an idea - why not wait till the end of the winter when the snow is gone? Otherwise you can get them kerbed again in a similar situation (not that you don't learn from mistakes... ), but there is always a chance! Vadim A.

I think I'm on my 12th re-furb now......it hurts every time, and everytime I say I'll never do it again!!
