Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have got a rear alloy on my 2004 C4S 996 that has been damaged somehow so that it will not hold air to keep a new tyre inflated. It appears that on the inner rim it is slightly bent at one point. Can anyone give me any help on how best to proceed as I now have the spare wheel on and two brand new tyres sitting in the garage because they could not be put on by the mobile fitter !! Can an alloy be repaired ? Who could do this in or near to Cheshire/Manchester ? Where could I buy a reasonably priced new alloy if it can't be repaired ? All help would be much appreciated...

POST 2Original post

Welcome Neal! I doubt it can be repaired if it is that badly damaged, but it might be worth talking to Jasmine Motorsport: http://www.jasmine-motorsport.co.uk/ or of they can't help you might be able to get a second hand one from www.porsch-apart.co.uk .

POST 3Original post

Try National Alloys in Widnes-Google will find them. Colin.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I would thoroughly recommend National Alloys. £20 to fix the dent and to fit the tyre is a bargain compared to a new wheel. Whilst there I met a couple of guys that had travelled from South Wales to National Alloys in Widnes because of their reputation !!
