Alloy Wheel Woes!

[scwelsher]

My good lady recently had an altercation with a bit of a hole in the road and has damaged beyond repair one of my wheels! :ffs: But I am trying to locate another...a bit more difficult than I thought. It is a 2002 D-4D Gs. The wheels are 5 (double)spokes, I belive they are O.E, can anyone PLEEEAASSSSE help!!

When you say beyond repair is that your diagnosys? I had to get a couple of alloys straightened last year and in the process of hunting heard of some places actually grafting in fresh metal. Possibly not the cheapest of repairs though!!

There was a good inch of deflection over a 12 inch span of the rim! Well gubbed.

Suggest that you try e-bay.

They always have alloys for sale (some in sets, and some single wheels).

Good luck

Already looking but no luck as yet....feel like my life is ruled by eBay at the mo!

You just have to keep looking on eBay. I got a set of new T3-S 16" alloys for gnats gnad under £80 (with p&p on top of that of course).

Plonk a "wanted" post on this site too. I bet there are some members with sets of wheels knocking around.

What size (diameter, width, offset, etc) are you looking for so if I see some during my browsing I can let you know.

One of my wheels had just over half an inch and it was repaired for £40 with a few carefully place pushes with a hydraulic jack, it was impossible to tell which wheel had been fixed. I would still try getting it repaired, you have nothing to lose.
