    Any remedy?

    I have a flat spot on one of my wheels...not visible until it is spinning on a balancing machine.
    Anyone know of people who can fix it?
    They came with the car I don't know what they are, I have just had them refurbished and there are four f**king brand new eagle f1's on them now.

    I am not amused.
    Plus the pricks who fitted the tyres marked the inside of the bent wheel....

    Result!!
    Spoke to Renowheels...top bloke.
    25 min up to a max 40 per wheel and if he can't do it successfully they only charge for the carriage (bout 12)
    Better than a new wheel!!
    They use a jig and a press to remove flat spots and retrue the wheel. last place I rang used ..and I quote "a big hammer to bash out the rim".....oh I will be right over then...not
