Just thought some of you might be interested in this. Never seen it happen before - just noticed it the other day on one of my wheels.







I've called a few wheel repair places and described it and they rekon it can't be fixed because the wheel has probably warped or bent. If anyone sees any of these for sale or even knows what brand they are please let me know! Cheers

Thanks for the responses - yep I'm not driving it until I replace the wheels. Looking around all the forums for new wheels now. Bit of a shame cos I liked these and I've never seen another set.
