    Default Rerolling an alloy wheel - Melbourne

    Bah. Running late this morning so couldn't ride. Drove to work, pulled into the work driveway and understeered (at <20 kph) straight into a kerb. No damage to suspension but alloy wheel has a nice bend in it.

    Is it possible to reroll or straighten? If so, who can do this in Melbourne?

    Thanks for help.

    Ajax Motor Wheels in Moorabbin are very good. Don't try and bash it out yourself!

    Ah yes, thanks Huy...I knew there was a mob near me that did this. Buggered if I knew what their name was.

    Thank you all - rep all round.

    The Crown... Just gently turned in...road was a bit wet and it just slid across the greasy central bit. Must have looked pretty silly.

    lol.. yes.
    I just saw someone understeer into a gutter this morning too, in a Daewoo lanos. I nearly crashed into them due to the laughter.
