Aaahhh noo, alloy damage

[G14RRV]

Girlfriend went down a pot hole last night and there is about a 1inch long scuff

Not hugely noticeable but I know
It's there, question is can these be repaired without taking the run flat tyre off ? Or if not obviously tyre would need to come off will it go back on okay ?

Pictures will help with any assesment. I had a tyre fitter scuff a wheel on my 3 series, they sent it off for repair and came back looking great. It was light damage, not through to the metal. Not sure if they removed the tyre or not during the repair process.

Haha that's what I thought but on closer inspection it you see can see the scuffs go downwards towards the cap not a rotational scuff.

My dealers doing one of mine at the mo, £75 + VAT, through their bodyshop, he was talking about baking so would say the tyres off, I'll let you know how it looks.

Can be done with tyre on, if similar to damage done by a mobile wheel fitter trying to get the run flat off my E91 - left 3 inch fairly deep gash. Local refurber did an excellent job. No idea how much it cost as the company that tried to fit the tyres paid for it obviously...!

Yeah been there before with getting run flats off on the 135 so letting the dealer do it this time, after all they should have the right equipment right?? :?

Cheaper and top notch work. Very professional guy. Had a massive chunk out of the face of one of my 326's by a rock and the wife had a kerb rash fixed on her last car.

Couldn't fault his work £40 something plus VAT but that was a while ago. He was very careful with the car to.
