Sport Ka alloy wheels

[v64motion]

Hi all,

Just had some naff news that my Ka has failed its MOT on two duff alloys, Ford original wheels are horrifically expensive, just wondering per chance if anyone had 2 hanging about (long shot I know). Looked on flea bay but the ones on there look a bit ropey or are pretty much asking new money.

They are the standard 16" alloys as fitted to the sport and street Ka.

I am based in Herts and can collect upto 50 miles away.

Thank you!

I realise how staggering unhelpful this response is but they really are like hens teeth.

I have one wheel on mine that is slightly buckled and I cannot find a replacement at reasonable cost.

I would try the local scrapyards and if that fails i'm afraid its a case of buying whatever is available from ebay.

Currently the best option is £85.

The wheels are very prone to buckling - as you have just found - when this happened to me last winter I had to fork out £70.

The only plus is that the cars are popular with young drivers so do get written off fairly often.

Fingers crossed and it may be work posting on fk-oc.

If you're not bothered about what they look like (and let's face it, it doesn't sound like you are) just sell the other two and buy four crappy secondhand after-markets for £99 off ebay.

Get some rough ones on ebay and get them refurbed. Costs £30 a corner round here.

Any alloy wheel from a Mk4/5 Fiesta, Puma or Ka will fit. If you can't find a decent set of something with a blue oval badge on it on eBay I'd be amazed.

Cheers for the replies, tried the guy on ebay and someone else has 1st dibs on them so he is going to ring me tomorrow!

PH is fab, such a friendly bunch!

Thanks for this, picked up the three alloys this morning, they need a refurb but for the money I can't complain!! So two wheels on the car and one for spare!

Thanks again!
