M12 GTO 2.5 & 3 original wheel availability

[Buxton]

Hi, a week or so ago I manage to hit a curb with my M12 GTO3, amd managed to bend two of the wheels. OK so I rang around and whilst I managed to get hold of a new front wheel which turned out to be last one in the UK (don't ask the price) there are no longer any of the rear wheels available, which left me with 3 only wheels on my car which is not so good.

I took the decision to buy a set of M12 GTO3R wheels as these are still available, and had them fitted over the weekend. I did managed to trade in the new front wheel I had purchased against the new set of 4, so there is currently only one front old style wheel available in the UK and no rear wheels for the original M12 GTO 2.5 & 3 cars.

So if you have an M12 with the original wheels drive very carefully as you probably can't get any new replacement wheels.

Hi, I thought the 3R wheels were as rare as rocking horse sh;te too!

Where did you manage to get a new set from - and what was the price if you don't mind me asking?

Cheers,
