Alloys Other Replacing one Blade 18" alloy

Guys, does anyone know if Honda will replace or repair just the one alloy and if so how much it will cost roughly??? Thanks

What has happened to it? Has is been kerbed or is it corroding? If it is the latter then it would be replaced under warranty.

It will be expensive if you have to pay for a new one. For example, an 18" type R wheel is over £300!!

It has been kerbed unfortunately. The tyre is fine tho and would just need switching. I hate it when it happens cos u always notice it and I would just rather it was gone. Its not too old either so think its worth doing. £300?? Sounds like ** talking from experience

you might want to try a wheel repair service - sorry, not enough caffine yet to recall the name of one

only downside is that they re-paint the wheel afterwards, and you might end up with a slightly different colour, so might need to do 2, or all 4.

circa £60 ish per repair I think?

50-60 is the going rate, I'm gonna get mine done in a few months, so may get both on one side done, just so they are the same colour.

Is it ChipsAway or something like WonderWheels?

both ring bells, but despite huge caffine injections I can't get my brain to recall

Thanks guys. Contacted the Dutton-Forshaw dealer in Bexleyheath and they suggested a wheel repair company which does mobile service and apparently is superb. Will see for myself.... £60 seems better to fork out than £300.
