I had a narrow escape yesterday hitting a cobble left in the road.

My front wheel wasn’t so lucky. I have tried usual Motorworks, Motobinns and Sherlocks and no second hand serviceable wheel available.

Quoted by what use to be Allan Jeffries for £715!!!! For wheel complete with bearings!

Will other BMW dealers quote the same or is it a matter of ringing around for the best price ?

2012 BMW R1200r

Part no: BMW 8 522 224
Granite grey

I had similar damage to my R1250 RT.
I was quoted the same price from 3 different dealers.
 
More importantly, it’s good that it didn’t have you off.
 
They are made to do that rather than shatter

Possibly take it to an Alloy wheel specialist?? Apart from E Bay .de, I think this is a solid option

I have straightened a few with heat and the tyre fully inflated and a rubber mallet but never so well dinged CANCEL That I just noticed yours is split in the first photo
