Not been the greatest of days.
The Aero needed a pair of new tyres. I decided to bite the bullet and go for a new set all round as they were all pretty old. In changing the tyres, Alan Claridge noticed a crack in the inner side rim of one of the rear wheels.
So now a bill coming up for a new wheel or wheels. However in talking to Williams this afternoon as to whether they could get a new wheel from the factory, they asked if I had looked into getting the wheel repaired. Furthermore they thought the factory now might offer a part exchange service for repaired wheels. I had no idea you could weld repair mag alloy. Does anyone have any experience good or bad of having this done? Apparently the crack in my wheel is a single crack extending about half way down the rim.
So new wheel or wheels if I can get them, or Factory part exchange if they do it, or specialist weld repair?
My Aero is a 2002 S1 with the original Magnesio wheels
Your thoughts would be very much appreciated
