Looking for alloy

Hit a crater on way to Wexford other day...tyre went from 30-0 in 2 secs and put a nice flat spot in the alloy.  My spare alloy is not much better, so after having to fork out for a new tyre and I'm now running on the best of the two on the back right, I need to get my hands on at least 1, maybe 2 if the price is right.

The alloy is this type:

Size 7.0 x 16"

I checked ebay over the weekend in the UK and some guy had a set of 4 and I think they went for £80 plus postage in the end.  I'd rather get the wheel here in Ireland so I can at least see it before handing over the dosh.

Anybody know anybody who may have upgraded from these type of wheel and still has them lying about?

Derg,

I just spoke to the guy and he has 5 of them as per the picture I displayed.  2 of them have "ok" tyres and the other are medium-to-good condition.  All 5 wheels are in pristine condition as told on phone.  He has a good few advertisements on the B&S at moment.

He's in Clonee so it's only a 15min drive from work for me.  I can probably get over there on Thursday.  How are you fixed?  He said he'll only sell them as a set so we might have to do a deal together.  Only thing is I just want 2 at the most.  Not sure if he wants to split the set. 

Unless there is another member out there interested in one alloy wheel?

I'll PM you my tel number and you can call me.

joe-318is gave me the name of a guy in Blanch that has wheels also, so might be worth dropping into him also.

those wheels gone when I went to look today. 

Joe...Dave McCann had nothing either

Still looking...

I dont know how it works in Ireland, but in the UK, if you hit a pot hole, and damage your car, you can clain a new tyre/alloy from the council, take a photo of the pot hole/alloy/tyre and attach to an angry but civilised letter and you should get some money from them! After all thats what we pay road tax!

HTH

I wish I could...this bang has cost me a new tyre, replacement alloy and the bush in the control arm is booked in next week to get replaced.

That was an expensive pot-hole

I got 80 quid about 6 years ago off South Dublin Co. Council when I put in a claim.  They paid me half of what I was looking for , so its worth a go!

There are a few guys fixing alloys around the country now. My wife's Yaris hit a pothole (OK I was driving) near Mondello.

I took it to a guy in county Limerick who fixed it for 40 Euro. You can see the roller marks on the inside of the rim from the machine. Not very noticeable.

Contacted Co. Kildare councillor he said Kildare Co Co will fight every claim made against them.
