Had an unfortunate accident on Sunday morning going down to the Pistonheads Sunday Service, my nearside tyre blew on the motorway, im ok, luckily there was no cars on the road and I managed to control it to a safe place. Punctured two tyres, paint damage due to hot rubber and a damaged alloy which is unrepairable. Car is in at the specialist at the moment to see if everything is ok.

Ive asked around on social media for a 17" RL7 Speedline alloy but there are quite rare. Just wondered if anyone on here has a spare for sale even in bad condition as il need to refurb anyway to match or can point me in the right direction to find one.

Thanks

They are getting hard to find. . .

Bell Hill had some rears (or are they fronts???!!) left in stock (expensive though at £150 plus delivery and VAT). The two I got from them (sold as fronts but were rears) were both buckled (i.e. had a twist in them rather than a flat spot) but my alloy guy was able to get them back in true.

A few folk on here offered me sets but changed their minds or couldn't decide on a price, so maybe someone will get in touch.

As a last ditch I do have one (a front so would fit either end) which you can have for the cost of postage but you'd need to find someone willing to replace a spoke as a previous repair has left the wheel unusable as the rear of the spoke has been entirely filled with weld!

Ive rang Bell Hill, they have one in stock at the price you've mentioned, refurbed and for the front. Will probably go for that, just need to find out if the other wheel is damaged before I go ahead with the purchase. Thanks!
