Please help!

Post by AshLeMacq »

Please accept my apologies for this terrible terrible post.

My car has just failed its MOT on a wheel failure. They're trying to bend it back into place but it might (and knowing my luck, will) snap.

So I'm wondering where the best place to get either...

A set of 4 13" steel stock wheels.

1 x 15" alloy wheel

4 x new alloy wheels.

But preferably for no more that £250!

It's a 6n2 and they're 4 stud.

Apologies for being rubish, if you have answers I will love you until my dying day.

I'd be a bit worried about having a wheel bent back into place, it's usually said that if they're bent chuck them out.

Are they standard wheels? If so, how about trying VW, or as Laura said try some Scrap Yards and see if you can get a replacement one.

How far is Bolton from Brum?

I've got a set of 4 vanilla 13x4.5J steels off a 6n1 (the silver-painted lot with matching plastic centre caps) that i'm basically giving for free, as that's how i received them.

However if you're more than a few miles off you're better going to a local scrappy as the things are cheap as chips, far better value vs the fuel money. Besides, one of them has an irreperable blowout on the rubber so itd need a tyre..
