Default Anyone got a genuine EF tickford rim?

I need a genuine EF tickford rim to replace one I've got that has a very small ding on the edge. If anyone has one handy that's in nice condition and at a reasonible price, OR is willing to trade somewhat for the dinged rim (can be rolled back into shape), then please post here.

Thanks

Ford said they could roll it but would end up costing as much as a new one, ie $300 :
I really want to get one for less!

Default Advance Wheel Repairs

Yeah, definately investigate getting it repaired. Try a company called Advance wheel repairs..... I used to work for a panel shop who used these guys and they are very good. If they cant repair it, they can replace it with a good 2nd hand (restored) one. Should cost a lot less than $300, thats a joke.

Well, no luck with Advanced alloy. Even though the damage is small, the paint is fractured which means the metal is fractured. And a quick test on the roller proved that.

I think I might sell my rim set and get a new set all together :

Thanks for the help guys!
