Recommended him to a friend recently with a scuffed F-Type alloys.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Ian Jemmison in Bishopthorpe near York ... he is a specialist in repairing and repainting magnesium wheels ... if he can do that he can do anything and he with his son make a very good team ... !
I found a buckled wheel when replacing a damaged tyre. I took the new tyre (which could not be fitted) and the wheel to Ian and he repaired the wheel and fitted the tyre whilst the car was sitting on its jack .... a class act.
He has also repaired magnesium wheels for me etc etc ... hence I can wholeheartedly recommend him.
I wouldn't have a wheel refurbed for that little damage. If you buy a close paint match from Halfords and touch up the damage with a small modelling brush it'll look fine out there in the real world. In my case there's too much risk of scuffing the same wheel again about 10 minutes after a proper refurb.

Looks like 100k’s worth of 992T
So I’d get it done properly, going rate only £50-£70 a wheel to get it fully refurbished and tyre refitted / rebalanced.

Blimey, please can you post up where you can get wheels done for that?

Not diamond cutting that’s another place and £90 wheel

Update Porsche say wheel is not repairable as the alloy has been compromised so looks like a new wheel! Ouch ! Anyone know best place for new Porsche wheel?
Is that Porsche (the OEM) or the dealer? If the latter I would defer to an expert.
IMHO it is all to easy for dealers (who have limited engineering knowledge) to default to replacement.

Porsche approved body shop comment also shown Porsche letter of what is acceptable repair and what isn’t .
Unless that photo is not representative, that wheel has not been "compromised" its been scuffed, perfectly repairable.
Compromised means it is either bent/buckled or has stress fractures, which would require specialist diagnosis, not some bloke looking at it in the car park!
Even bent/buckled wheels are repairable with the correct equipment and process, its very common in race and rallying to have wheels repaired. Even stress fractures can be repaired, e.g. BS EN ISO 9606-2 is the UK standard for welding alloy wheels.
I learnt along time ago that Porsche are masters of using "Porsche say" to gouge more money. I had a nail in a tyre with only 500 miles on it that was repairable but the OPC insisted on replacing. Ended up speaking to Michelin technical who admitted that if the type wasn't "N" marked they would agree it was repairable (to the appropriate standard), however as it was Porsche they had to insist on replacing ................
Its your money and your choice, but I would find your nearest decent wheel refurb place, get it done and more on with my life!
I agree ... this sounds dangerously like opportunistic BS by the Porsche representative ... OPC or ??
Ask Ian Jemmison ... for rally purposes they can even change four stud to five stud wheels for greater stability ... that looks like but a flesh wound !!

Will be Porsche dealer at a cost of thousands, hence why they are giving you that advice.
Id get a wheel refurb place to look at it, its a scuff.
Did it happen at low speed against a curb or was it something more significant?
A good reputable wheel company will easily fix that wheel. That is a minor flesh wound. Someone is taking the pi** saying it needs to be completely replaced.

I wish those prices applied were I am. I got quoted 600 Euros without the refit/rebalance for my 4 Clio rims and 650ish Euros per rim for the FF rims
Hi Keith,
Gutted about your wheel! So annoying.
I’ve used this chap in the past. Absolutely brilliant. Recommended him to a friend recently with a scuffed F-Type alloys. Also said he was great.

Hope you get things sorted soon.

Hi Neil having it refurbished Wednesday I will- see how it turns out if not happy will order new wheel. Porsche say it’s compromised as some alloy has been removed in the scrape! Obviously they would say that!
