Please check the below link of the damaged alloy of our Elite i20.
Elite i20 Rear Left Alloy Damaged (Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists - India)

I got it repaired through a local puncture walla. Don't know from where he got it done. But got it done within 1-1.5 hours. Now have been using the Alloy for more than 20000kms after repairing it.

Edit:-
He charged me Rs. 1000/- for that repair + dismounting + mounting the tyre back.

Re: Physically Damaged Alloy Wheels and solutions

My car alloys have deep scratches (no physical damage).

Is it a good idea to get them repainted from a professional ? I heard that the paint peels off after some time.

Any suggestions ?

Re: Physically Damaged Alloy Wheels and solutions

Dear Bhpians,

Here in Bangalore, I got my Creta's Lenso Jager Craft 17 inches wheel damaged by a moron driver who came in the opposite direction and crashed into me on the driver side. The impact was so bad that it left my front right wheel 'broken'. I mean, literally broken. Please check out the attached picture for your reference.

I have been reaching out to most Lenso sellers here in Bangalore for a single piece, but no luck yet.

The car will be handed over from service center in about 2 days time, and I badly need to get the wheel up and running at the earliest.

I did ransack the whole of Shivaji Nagar Gujri and J.C. Road today, but no matches there too.
People suggested me they can repair, but I'm personally not ready to take that risk as my usage is quite high. I've clocked the Creta about 90,000 kms in 3 years time.

I'm also trying to check within my circle if someone would have had a single piece with them and want to sell it off, but no luck there as well.

I'm now turning to you folks for some directions. What best do you think I should be doing in this situation.

Wheel details: Lenso Jager Craft 17 inches (Matte Black)
Thanks in advance!

Re: Physically Damaged Alloy Wheels and solutions

Any tips for cosmetic repair or alloy rims in Bangalore (preferably in north)? Kerbed one of mine and it never fails to catch my eye :-(.

Curb Rashes - i don't think there are any ways to fix this. Just got to live with them I guess.

Bends if any (minor one's) can be fixed though.

There's this place after Ashoka pillar, just before the left turn towards Madhus, on the right side.

Its called A1 car care centre - contact # - +91 88849 17477

I've gotten stuff done there. They do a pretty good job & are reliable too.
