how badly damaged does an alloy need to be before its beyond repair?
i had an accident with a kurb last night (fucked wishbones and anti roll bar) and the alloy was pushed up into the arch, the car is being fixed as we speak but i want to avoid replacing the alloy as well if possible!
the alloy has a chunk missing but was not buckled because of how it was pushed up into the arch, will a refurb place repair this. . . . i have pictures but no where to host them

I which i took pics of Monsters that i got repaired. They were fooked!!! 2 had to be alloy welded round the rim, that cost me £30, i didn't think that was too bad. When they came back  I asked him if he bought new wheels, they looked that good.
