Had to happen.... I've dinged one of the wheels of my 8. Touched a kerb and it's damaged the stainless rim - I have the split rim types.
Does anyone know who makes these wheels?
Thanks

Thanks John - I looked on that site, it could be this - but I'm not sure...  Do MWS do all wheels for Morgan? I thought maybe they might be Image Wheels, but really not sure.

Think they just do wire wheels.

Think they just do wire wheels. They seem to do rims - which look like the Plus 8 rims... The rims being the outer stainless or chrome band.

Oh bu**er!
I've done it too, fortunately the Aeromax wheels are painted, so a repair wasn't difficult or expensive.
I'm now slightly paranoid about parking!

I thought the chrome piece on the Corsa wheel was glued on to the alloy.

These people may be able to help. I've not used them but they seem to have a good reputation locally. http://www.lepsons.com

I had an Aero 8 S3 that I bought second hand wheel that looks quite similar (although I have been told the manufacturer of later wheels is different...)
This was quite badly curbed all round and not really as described before I bought it unseen for £115. I suppose the price was fair.
Brands Hatch Morgans had the wheel reconditioned for me for about £100 and it now looks as good as now - and is a spare which I'll be keeping until I need it! Meanwhile I avoid kerbs like the plague!! I don't know where they sent it but I'm sure they can remember. It was only last year...
Failing that a mobile service might be able to help but I don't think the stainless rims are easy to fix this way (just a guess).
Good luck!

I have just had 4 tiptop wheels refurbished at RimTec in Meopham. Pretty awful premises so I feared the worst , but was pleasantly surprised. Not cheap as each on needed some welding in order to repair dents, but the finish looks good. About £100 per wheel, refurb only would be £50 to £60.
