Thank you very much in advance. Feeling a little stupid for asking as you probably all know it, but I dont, and I have googled but I can't find what I'm looking for.
Having searched Ebay UK and Gumtree for genuine alloy wheels for the old model Audi A8 (-99 ish) I can't find the correct set for my dads car as he wants another set for winter tires.
If any of you know of any good breakers, or other sites where people advertise these things for sale then please list it and I'll search them. I'm thinking breakers would be the correct place to look as I guess most insurance companies write them off when anything happens.
Thank you very much.

EDIT : NOT TIRES, ALLOY WHEELS/RIMS

Failing that, like you said, a breakers yard/eBay etc. Personally, I would just chuck on any set of alloys (or steelies!) that fit if they are gonna be a winter set.

Thanks. But he wants genuine Audi wheels... He loves his car eventhough the value of it isn't high, and he accepts the costs of keeping it fresh and original.
Anyone knows of a good breaker, please give the name/website.

Thanks! smile

Look for an owners forum. They usually have a classified section or will know where to point you.
