I drove from Pembrokshire to Chester last night and this morning I noticed that i have bent/buckled my front nearside wheel quite badlyfrown

Firstly should i drive the car home on Monday?? (there was no vibration through the steering)

Secondly, Where should i look to get a replacment? I have already tried TVR power (they will be getting some in a fortnights time) and Bell Hill Salvage, they don't have any in either. All sugestions welcome, anyone got a straight 18" front spider in silver they want to sell me??

Thanks

Sam

think there is a set of silver spiders in the classifieds, might be worth getting a set for spares or winter tyres?

Only problem with driving on it is that it could deflate all of a sudden, probably during cornering/braking. Without seeing the wheel it is not easy comment, but if you do drive on it just take it really easy - no harsh driving of any kind.

I buggered mine up not so long ago and it kept deflating, so I wouldn't advise driving home. I got mine from TVR London they had one in stock and i picked it up in the missus car same day

Well, I made it home with the buckled wheel.
I managed to source a wheel, Ian at Torque RVT sorted me out. Top Bloke thumbup

Just need to get the tyre changed over.

Thanks for the help
