Wheel straightening near Southampton?

Trying to chase a vibration on the steering wheel. Had the wheels balanced at my Indie. They said that there was a slight buckle "but it should be ok and balanced up".

Vibration still there so I guess I need to get a wheel straightened.

Any recommendations Nr Southampton?
 
Cheers Paz,

I had just read that!

My Indie said that the wheel was buckled - so, I can only assume it is, and not just the tyre causing an issue.

I've had them balanced twice now but both times I wasn't there to see the buckle.

I ended up with about 12 wheels when I had the RS4 to get a set where all were straight! It doesn't look like turbo twists are in plentiful supply though!
 
I think there is a wheel refurb place Fareham way, not sure what they are called or if they could correct the problem but I know they deal with a lot of wheels so may be worth a call.
 
Try the wheel specialist in Fareham. Not used them myself, but they are local to you. They have a website.

Thanks, have seen their website. Anyone here used them to straighten a wheel?
