Superb 19 Trinity Rim/Wheel Damage

[backdoc]

My beloved wife decided to turn left before the road did and absolutely clobbered the curb with the 2 passenger side rims. Needless to say, rims and tyres came off second best, as did our marriage!

The rim damage doesn’t look too deep, but being a machined finish am concerned about the repair.

3 questions please:

1. Has anyone had one of these rims repaired and were you happy with the result? Pics and price would be amazing

2. Does anyone have a rim repairer they would recommend in Melbourne?

3. Does anyone have 2 or even 4 of these rims for sale? I know unlikey

Hi Mate,

Sorry to hear about the kerbing to your ŠKODA wheels.

ŠKODA Trinity wheels are the same design, however in 18" for the overseas market; Trinity alloy wheel 18" | ŠKODA E-shop

I assume you are referring to a 2015 onwards Superb? They have 19" "Phoenix" wheels in Australia.

Here are the specs:

Phoenix Part No. 3V0 071 499F HA7
brushed light-alloy wheel 8,0J x 19" for 235/40 R19 tyres in anthracite design

1. Never had any ŠKODA wheels repaired, but did have my VW Jetta wheels (all 4) done at Depulu Wheels: Depulu Wheels - Reconditioning, repairs, and custom wheels but that was tyres off and a full machine / repair etc. You would be struggling to get a "mobile guy" to machine the face, I assume they would just paint / blend to match.

2. No

3. There was a set on Gumtree about 3 weeks ago that sold for $699 (4 brand new wheels)

Thank you for clarifying and taking the time to reply. What a bummer. That sounds like a good deal. Better keep an eye out!
