It totally depends on how bad. If it was just a scrape, it will be under £100 depending on the finish that was on the wheel. It will be lower if it is just painted and lacquered a single colour.
If you hit the wheel at any speed, there could be a weakening of the metal or a crack. Unfortunately you cant tell this by looking. If this is the case it is anew wheel (though some say they can repair this, I wouldn't be taking chances). |

We’ve had to have this done twice due to blooming potholes. Once it was around £100 and the second time around £80. Must have been different levels of damage I guess

Mine were £60 each about 2 years ago, but I guess badly damaged ones will be more and 2 tone fancier type will probably be more again.
I would never use chipsaway to repair an alloy wheel because they did a rubbish job years ago. |

My fault but I kerbed a diamond cut alloy on a BMW saloon about 4 years ago. Cost me £115 if I remember correctly. Mind you it was bad.

Spit n polish in Kent are the best for diamond cut. Wouldnt recommend any of the mobile guys.
Give these guys a call manchesterpowdercoating.co.u...owder-coating/ manchesteralloywheelrepair/
