Hello! Not too long ago a topic opened: “Alufelgen-Renovierung im Raume Nürnberg”. Sorry, you can forget. Trotdem still many thanks for some comments. Instead not the rather locally interesting question, but the more to an extended interest group encountering question: “Repair or immediately new (naturally suitable) alu rims”? I am well aware that it is important that the degree of damage of the aluminium rims. Übrisgens: The rims (17″ have never been compatible with kerbstone edges, at least my A2 mutated to the private car before my takeover as a company car! After all, the renovation costs at least approx. EUR 100,– per rim net. To do this, the tires would have to be removed from the rim. Did they have to anyway, as new tires become due. I am very attached to your opinions/instructions! Greetings thank you in advance! B LÄ C K Y
