My son has just got himself an LCR, and just one day after getting it, hit a pothole in the M2 slip road and bent two of the wheels. They look OK on the outside, but when put on a balancing rig, the inside rim wobbles a lot. The tyre establishment we've used and trusted for ages says they are not repairable - the amount of force needed is most likely to crack the rim. Strangely enough, the tyres still seal, but the wobble makes it undrivable at anything other than low speed. We will be getting a second opinion on the repairability from a specialist.
The car is one that came with a full-sized alloy spare, so he's keen to replace the existing wheels and not buy new (I'd do that too). The question then is - where can you get them from? I believe the style is called Arrasate, and they are 18" wheels, not 17" (that style came in both sizes).
I would be surprised if anyone had new wheels in this style any more (but I'd be very happy if we did find some), so what are the options? All advice gratefully received
I'll ask on the dealer section too.
