Had a pot hole incident back in January scarring two of my QV alloy wheels and gouging a tyre.
After many months of emails with the local authorities and their insurer finally they have agreed to pay out!
Happy days, however I need to get some estimates for the works. This possess four possible problems and possibly a can of worms!
Alloy repair
1) every one who quotes for the works has said they will not be able to undertake the repair or guarantee the works. This is due to the way the alloy is made with the machined finish and the the lacquer failing. Although they all suggest they will be able to paint and guarantee a solid colour. Is this true?
Alloy repair
2) if the above is correct and they can't be repaired with a guarantee, then a new pair from the dealer must be the only option?
Tyre replacement
3) although only 1 rear tyre was damaged the tyre companies recommend replacing in pairs! Is this correct?
Tyre replacement
4) I currently have Bridgestone Potenza on all four corners. Do I (A) get new Bridgestone or do I (B) get Continental sport 2 and slam them on the front.
Any advice would be great?
