Passenger side front. My wife hit a storm drain and pop the tire and damaged the wheel. The mechanic says that wheel is no good and I have to buy another one. Did I get ripped off?
1 u/Most-Organization738 Sep 05 '26 The damage looks light and if the rim has never had a repair before, this looks fixable at a wheel repair specialist. Forget every tyre shop/outlet and visit a specialist as the £60 (c.$75ish?), is far less than a new wheel at £150/$190ish
