Good morning, are lass has just got back from work and completely damaged alloys and taken a chunk of rubber of both passenger tyre.

could anybody recommend 4 new alloys I could order of internet please ?

It’s a 18 plate s line Quattro.

Yeah every time an alloy gets kerbed you replace all four, you definitely don’t get them refurbished.

It's a 2 year old car - surely the right choice here is a like for like replacement?

How is the car funded - unless you own it outright you probably can't just bin the broken alloys and stick some Ebay jobbies on it anyway. I think this needs a bit more thought!

Refurbished = repaired basically

~£50/wheel or thereabouts normally

His there a certain amount they can fix ? Or some times are they unfixable ?

If the tyres are still holding air then they’ll (the wheels) be repairable...visit a tyre garage and they’ll be able to point you in the direction of a refurb place, it is a routine job

Some pictures would help

Basically they file down any rough spots, fill if required and then prime and repaint the wheel (or just the damaged area)

So unfortunately it's owned by Audi so you can't just throw the wheels away and buy random ones off eBay. You'll need to replace them like for like.

WTF, first thing I’d be doing is getting that tyre replaced!

They can be refurbished, so just search for somewhere capable of that. Be a LOT cheaper also.

And please bin that tyre immediately - due to the conditions - as well as any other Landsail tyres on the car. They're just ditch finding ****.

2 year old audi on landsails wtf

How on earth did that happen, that's taken a fair effort

No women driver jokes yet?
You lot are off to a slow start to Monday lol
Guessing you didn't take the alloy wheel insurance then?
I assume it's an option on pcp?
