Help! Buckled Alloy?

I%26#039;ve recently found out i%26#039;ve got a slit buckled alloy wheel when i had a flat tyre and had to get it changed.


The macanic change my tyre and applied some kind of glue to stop air escaping, but it didn%26#039;t last long and now im having to pump my tyre everyday because a lilttle air is escaping.


I need help in what to do, should i just go out and buy a new wheel or is there a way i could get it fixed.





And also is it possible just to buy a single second hand wheel temporally?





Any advise pls!

2 ways depending on where the leak is it can be wielded





or the easy way get a tube and put it in it works every time





most tire shops have hem they usally dont offer them as they want to sell you a set of rims
Reply:Replace the wheel. The old one will keep giving troubles.





Try the online auction sites. I%26#039;e had good luck buying used parts from eBay. If you can find a used part in good condition, it will cost you a fraction of what a new part costs.





I also have had good luck with Car Parts Wholesale.
Reply:If I was you I would try to source a new replacement wheel.
Reply:Contact a body shop. They can order you a re-manufactured rim for your vehicle from Keystone for $179.00 plus tax. As long as the original rim is from the manufacturer and not aftermarket. And yes you can buy a %26quot;temporary%26quot; same size wheel to get by.
Reply:you will not be able to UN buckle it so you should go to kwik and by a new one because they are quit cheap
Reply:if the wheel is buckled you need to change it has you will end up having problems with the handleing of the car. to replace the wheel try looking on ebay or local breakers yards for a replacement hope this help
Reply:Have a inner tube in the Tyre .
Reply:chances are, a scrap yard will have a non-bucked wheel from a scrap model of car like yours locally to you, or if you have a proper alloy spare wheel in the boot you could just change them over. the air isnt escaping because the wheel is buckled however, unless the wheel is really badly damaged, it%26#039;ll be because the tyre is still leaking, that sealant isnt that good to be honest, its successful sometimes, but not very often, a patch would be better, or its time for a new one. you will notice however a rumble from the buckled wheel. any decent mechanic should be able to hammer the buckle mostly out with a dead-blow or otherr soft hammer in a matter of a few minutes, ive done it myself before with a lumphammer and a block of wood to stop the alloy being dented.
