Took my car in for a puncture repair, only to find out it wasn't the tyre, it was the alloy. two hairline cracks running the whole width of the alloy. Thinking now about buying a complete new set, any ideas?

Can't you source a replacement off Ebay or Breakers?

That was my original plan, but started looking at sets. Getting the right non OE set is a bugger, pick the wrong ones and your car looks poo

Can't your get your wheel welded up?

+1. A GOOD specialist will charge about £50. Do not use a "back street" specialist, it needs to be done properly, but a lot cheaper than buying a new set?

Yeh I mo a guy near white city who weld wheels and I think they charge about £50. But like you said its a lot cheaper than buying a new set, and tyres.

Ive been told welding them weakens them and the amount of pot holes round my way, I don't want them any weaker than they are

My mate had same problem with alloys on his 335d sport it doesnt help havin the !Removed! runflats, try

ebay for a set of original.I have heard that welding the wheel is not a good route to go down.
