Firstly, i have abit of rust below my drivers side door, i was just wondering whats the best way to treat it?
And, As some of you may no i smashed my alloy on a massive pot hole the other week, Now my alloy looks more like a 50pence peice than a circle, can you get them refurbished and straighted out or will i defo need some new alloys?

depending what colour you car is , if its bad and your car is metallic its really hard to spray if its a standard colour it would be easy to sand down , aply curust or any rust treatment , apply filler , sand down and spray, but you may find it easyier to replace it, and with the alloy depends on how buckled the wheel is but again may find it easyier to replace . pics would be good .

Take wheel to a refurb place so they can see it properly, no way anyone on net will be able to give you a definitive answer. Unless it's properly wrecked :(
