Title: Damage to inner wheel rim.
Post by podge on Apr 10^th, 2007, 7:59pm

Crossing a field last Sunday I hit a tree stump at less than 10 Mph and the car shuddered, on examining the underside observed that I hit the inside of the wheel and dented the rim.
Are there any garages that repair this sort of damage.
or is it easier to get a scrap one, or has anyone got one for sale?

hi there

this happen a lot. there use to be a photo on the site with a flat edge!

you can....

get a new (s/h) wheel.
get it refurb'd (http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=Advice;action=display;num=1139518082) this might show up your other wheels, though.
hit it gently with a rubber malet. it would still need balanced afterwards.

Thanks for your reply scorpio man.
I have been given a contact in Manchester that will repair the wheel while I wait.
Will not be going till next week, but will let you know how I get on.

best wishes,
