Image wheels in the UK can make you a set of lips, are you sure they are 3 piece wheels? as if they are 2 piece only the centre will come out... if they are full on 3 piece its pretty easy to get new lips...

What wheels are they? Put up piccies and shots of the damage and I can point you in the right direction :)

New chrome lips?? Not sure that\'ll be easy...have them polished....mine look awesome, similar to chrome! But you\'ll have to look after them and keep them clean!

Volk CV Pro\'s - they\'re a 2 piece wheel - centre is one, outer hoop/.barrel is the other. I don\'t know anyone that can make the lips for those. However, the PCD and bolt pattern of the outer bolts is the same on literally hundreds of different 90\'s wheels - things like GTP\'s, MS01s\'s, etc - all made by rays. The lips for them are all interchangeable. Best bet if you really want to keep the wheels is to find some wheels with different centres and use the lips to make a set. It will take a while finding the right sizes, but it\'s do-able.

Or, someone like //www.alloywheelrepairs.net may well be able to sort out the dinks.

no point polishing them they went up a 7" kerb at 80 mph and are well bent. so lucky not to be dead or have written my car off.

I just need to find some 17s by volks with the same lips, thing is ill have to buy a whole set of alloys in that case. nothing on ebay of that ilk at the moment

You\'d be able to get  aset of wheels for sub £200 I\'d have thought. To get the lips alone brand new you are probably looking at at least £400 a wheel. To me, that\'s an easy choice ;)

how much do ya think to refurb the 4 rims? only 1 is bad the rest are alright. even the one that took the knock isnt that bad?

i love these wheels but they cost 380 with 4 great treads.

I\'d fold matey, finding another set is an option but the time/effort/money involved outweighs auctioning them off and just buying another set the same, they come up for sale quite often, & for not a lot of money, you\'d have 2 spare as well :).
