So the spare wheel i kept is now going on my car - the wheel which was "repaired" when i bought the car last year apparently wasn't repaired all that well. Still holding air but i'm worried about hitting a pothole at the wrong angle and cracking the wheel.
I am now investigating taking one of my spare wheels to a wheel manufacturer to have the wheel scanned and then a set made in aluminium.
Image Wheels have suggested a split rim with billet centre, 3SDM have suggested a forged wheel.
Either way, i've told them i'm looking for something which is visually as close as possible to the original design, so i'll report back once i have some prices and designs.
If i do end up getting a new set of aluminium wheels then i'll probably get 5 made, and my 4 good magnesium wheels will be available for sale, potentially along with the damaged spare.
Ultimately if a new set of aluminium wheels means the car is more useable without significant penalties then that's the way i'll be going.
