Diablo Roadster 18" Rear Rim required

[Diablo_Pete]

May as well ask before spending more money, does anyone have a rear rim they want to sell?
Have had a dent on one of rears since owning it. It's the last job to do on the car now.
May be able to get it refurbed, but it's quite a nasty dent.

i am sure lamborghini do refurbed wheels at a stupidly low price might be worth trying them

thanks

I bet you £1.24 and a tin full of Altoid mints that they don't do anything like that...

Automobili Lamborghini don't do anything at 'a stupidly low price'....

I am sure that we inquired about at work for a customer and it was incredably cheap compared to a brand new wheels,

Eurospares in Halstead Essex do Lambo rims.

[Diablo_Pete]

Have called them before and they only offered brand new rims at 1200 a pop to order. Will go down that route if I have to. Just thought I'd see what my options are. Many people go for the replica outer rims (as only bit damaged) to replace theirs (often having them 1/2" wider to fill the arches), but I really want to keep the car 100% original.

…just be sure that if you buy rebuilt wheels you make certain that they have been remade using NEW fixing bolts / pins...

...they are a) relatively inexpensive to buy and b) won't cause the wheels to suddenly deconstruct at some point, possibly when giving the car some beans on a drive with dire results!

Whatever you go for, you won't get a trustworthy wheel without spending a few shillings.

Good luck!

Sorry I havnt replied have been very busy, hopfully the six is back this week, BUT I am letting the roadster go, probably for 65k just to get shot.
It does look bloody good now neil has done his work. hows yours? fancy another one!!!!

[Diablo_Pete]

Hi Jon,

Hopefully I've lined myself up for an Se30 to accompany my roadster. Also been trying to get a viola SV but to not avail. Had option of one via Mike Pullen, which is in Neil's paintshop that I could re-colour, but the mileage is too high and Mike's price is hign in my opinion. Think 3 is the optimum number of Diablos. 4 is just silly! Like your roadster very much but reckon two of em is not a good idea. Mind, I'll but anything at the right price! If only you were desperate, I could fleece you! ;o)
What was wrong with the box on the six?

Peter

[jdwcd]

Apparently nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want that in writing, Getting a rear wing in carbon for it now as well, have you got yours back yet

[Diablo_Pete]

Hi Jon,
Fingers crossed abou the box? Neil said on Friday, about 2 weeks. That will be fine, but the deadline slips all the time. So not holding my breath. He's got a lot of work on.
