Doesn`t look a top job, IMO I wouldn`t use it on car permanently, more as a "get you home" spare

Given the huge section that was ripped off, don't think I'd want to drive that repaired alloy much faster than slow crawl. You just don't know when it's going to let go again.

Omegas are heavy, powerful cars, skimp on servicing, oil, various other parts. But don't skimp on tyres/alloys

It looks to be a fantastic repair. How was the repair section(s) made?  :-\

Not a top quality repair mate - you can see the join!  Wouldn't trust my life (or other road user's lives) to that I'm afraid mate :o :o
