I have got a rear alloy on my 2004 C4S 996 that has been damaged somehow so that it will not hold air to keep a new tyre inflated. It appears that on the inner rim it is slightly bent at one point.

Can anyone give me any help on how best to proceed as I now have the spare wheel on and two brand new tyres sitting in the garage because they could not be put on by the mobile fitter !!

Can an alloy be repaired ? Who could do this in or near to Cheshire/Manchester ?
Where could I buy a reasonably priced new alloy if it can't be repaired ?

All help would be much appreciated...

Try National Alloys in Widnes-Google will find them.

Saw this link in a thread on another forum. No personal experience but they are in your part of the world.

I would thoroughly recommend National Alloys. £20 to fix the dent and to fit the tyre is a bargain compared to a new wheel.

Whilst there I met a couple of guys that had travelled from South Wales to National Alloys in Widnes because of their reputation !!
