Question Nissan buckled wheel advice

A few months ago my sister whacked into a high curb while driving my Mum's car (2014 Nissan Note). I was with her and immediately got her to stop so I could inspect the car, I instantly noticed a bulge on the driver's side rear tyre so.. with no spare available we had to nurse it back home..

Appeared to be no other damage so we got the tyre replaced. However, I have come home this weekend and am painting the car's brakes, after jacking up the rear I noticed this:





This is the same wheel which had the tyre replaced a few months ago, so it's basically brand new. Also if you look carefully you can see the bulge is right where there's a flat spot in the wheel itself, I didn't notice this damage before (probably because it was on the inside of the wheel).

My questions:
- Do you think this can be easily repaired by a wheel specialist and how much would you expect to pay?

- Do you think this flat spot in the wheel caused the tyre to bulge at that position as it put more pressure on it or something?

- I also noticed this dent on the hub, anything to be concerned about?


I'm wondering why the tyre fitters didn't notice this flat spot when they were fitting the new tyre and say something..

Thanks guys.

I would suspect that she's had another 'incident', if you had the tyre replaced at somewhere half decent they should have spotted that buckle and the bulge looks like pinching damage to me. I've had similar damage repaired, unfortunately you're a long way from the place I used, but you'll need to use a proper workshop rather than someone who comes round in a van to give them a quick lick of paint.

Personally wouldn't be too bothered about the dented dust cap on the hub bearing.






For those nearer Northampton I'd recommend these guys- precision-welding

Going to be easier and quicker to replace the wheel.
Maybe get 2 so you have a spare for next time. Have a look on e bay or search your local breakers.

for clarity, that's similar damage to the rim, that tyre is beyond repair.

GVM's suggestion of a secondhand wheel from ebay is possibly an easier and cheaper solution.

Thanks for your replies, I've just had the front wheels off this morning and found this on the same side of the car..




A larger flat spot but I'm hoping still repairable.

The car is actually in Hertfordshire so Northampton isn't too far, might be too far to drive on dodgy wheels though!

While I have the car on axle stands and I'm down this weekend I might be in with a chance of being able to get both wheels repaired today and put back on the car so all my Mum needs to do is then get 2 new tyres..?

Update: Doubt I'll be able to get it done today, my Mum might be forced to carefully drive it to a repair place, get it done then not drive it again until she gets tyres fitted.

The damage to the rims is definitely repairable but secondhand rims might be quicker and possibly cheaper. The repairs might not be ‘while you wait’

The guys I linked to in Northampton only work on bare rims, so you'd need to get the tyres taken off, and then it's about a 24hr turn round time for the repair. I wouldn't expect anyone to do a proper repair 'while you wait'. At a push one might put new (or part worn) tyres on with a lot of bead sealant to cope with the buckle, but they need straightening properly (or replacing) sooner rather than later.

Christ on a bike, prehaps driving lessons as well as new wheels are needed. Know I would be ranting at that sort of damage were it a car I maintained.
It's the duty of the driver to look at the road and avoid curbs and potholes.

Most places will repair alloys for about £50 a wheel depending on the size, i have seen places charge £30 for small 13" wheels.
