Scirocco Central

Need a new alloy - 18" Interlagos - NSF is buckled. Choice between sourcing a new one or using Lepsons. Not sure if I want to send the wheel off for 2 days and spend £40 to find out they can't fix it. It has no obvious buckle/flat spots but it's obvious when on wheel balance machine as can see it moving, so potentially have an oval wheel. No idea how it happened.

Anyone used this site for parts: http://www.vwgenuineparts.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;? If so are they legit?

Unless anyone knows any decent wheel refurb places around Nottingham so I can get it looked at?

Cheers.

Hi,
talk to Mark at the wheel specialist at Lenton, they are switched on with wheel repairs!

Thanks Nick

Bit worrying the number of threads I read with buckled Interlagos and Lugano wheels. Obviously our roads and potholes play their part but I'm beginning to wonder whether they are fit for purpose, especially if they are buckling without any damage to the rim or tyre.

Thanks nickyg, I'll have a chat with him. Only 15mins away too!

@Cubrabob - the funny thing is I haven't hit any pot holes and can't remember hitting anything else hard enough to do damage either. No damage at all to the rim and the tyre is fine. Last week just started feeling like a wheel out of balance so took it in for re-balance today and the wheel wasn't running "true".

Bit annoying really - especially given I've no idea how its' happened.
