Anyone gota a VXR wheel for sale??

[Bovered79]

I am after a new wheel thanks to a pot hole anyone got one a know where a Ro is in a salvage yard?

I love the council

A friend of mine had the same thing happen in a pot hole, he took some pictures of the road and wrote the council a stern letter, and they paid for a new wheel and tyre.

It's worth a try.

[Bovered79]

Umm nice how much are these wheels anyway??

[Magic919]

From Vauxhall about £800 a corner I've heard.

Don't let them get away with it - worth the price of a first class stamp !!

(In fact, make that a recorded delivery letter just in case !!)

[Bovered79]

the worst thing is now i have my spare on looks totally gay but what else can you do does anyone know if an omega wheels fits as until i resolve this i need a spare to replace the spare..

[Magic919]

Omega wheels don't fit.

[Bovered79]

any other idea ......

I believe some BMW wheels may fit but the centre hole is a different size (bigger) so you need to get a collar made up to fit inside. A search may help get the info.

Front and rear generally the same on a 'Ro. Maybe that's VXR8?

For not much more than that you can buy a set of 4 and ship them from Oz. So I'd buy the 4 - fit 1 keep 1 as spare and sell the other 2. Sure you could find someone on here to split the set with before ordering them up?

[Global-i]

For that price each you could probably get some of these Caron Fibre Dymags.
