Nothing a bit of bodyfiller and a coat of paint won't fix  ;)

I can't believe there is still air in it! Not sure where you will find one, perhaps one of these on-line scrapyard sites . . .

That wheel CANNOT be fixed, not for 250 Euros or even 2500 Euros,

It's not Mr O'Reilly of Faulty Towers offereing to fix it, by any chance?

I'm in agreement..  Even after its been 'fixed' it will never be a strong as an original..  My opinion would be to spend the €250 on getting a replacement, you can still buy those alloys on the continent.  they are still quite popular in Germany, so I'd check on auctio sites for that country.. also try www.rieger-tuning.de or www.duw-shop.de

I just can't see it being worth paying a couple of hundred pounds, to get one wheel repaired. There are plenty of rims out there (and ones that look better in my opinion). It sounds like you are mad keen on them, but as said already, I would not trust a repair of that scale. I hope you don't take offence, but I think you are making a big mistake.
