Not Saxo but on my Mondeo I cant get my front wheels balanced properly as they are both slightly buckled.

Is it possible to get these back straight using one of these alloy wheel refurb places?

Cheers

So much for reading the thread, GhDs only work on saxo alloys. Not his Mondeo ones which he has specifically stated as theyre different concept to all other alloys.
