Crashed through a gigantic pothole last night in the snow and slush and just been advised the offside front wheel is now buckled and can't be repaired.

New wheel time. Anybody have either a spare wheel they want to flog me or a good source of standard new ones? I'm not too keen on 4 aftermarket wheels unless I really have to..Much rather Fiat originals but not at Fiat main dealer prices.

Help!

I have 4 original steel wheels in reasonable condition although they could do with painting. They are from a '97 car and have tyres but as they (the tyres) are old I personally would not use them. Free if you want them except you have to collect from Woking, Surrey.
 
Thanks guys. It seems our local motor factor can do 4 replacement alloys for less than the price of 1 from Fiat. No surprises there. My concern is they need to look decent, not some crap tat that a teenager would stick on his diesel Bravo....:devil:

If its no go in the store then it may a be a weekend in Norway with the van....
 
but, you are short for one, you can't drive with 7 alloys. you need 8 of them.
2 front, 2 rear, 2 left and 2 right...
 
Any idea how much shipping to Norway would be for one? I've been one short ever since I planted my B in the bushes :rolleyes:

Have to weigh it. Couriers charge by weight / volume.
I have 3 spare alloys in the same pattern as 'wish mine was orange' siggy pic. All unbent / unbuckled but all 10yr old with fair/wear and tear.

They all have part worn P6000's on them but I'd suggest taking the tyre off to reduce shipping costs.

Wear and tear's no problem;the 3 good ones I have show plenty of wear too. The one in the bottom right corner shows a little too much wear though :D

What price would you be wanting for the alloy? Shipping without the tyre would be the best :) Any slow/cheap shipping would be good as I'm in no hurry; the alloy would (/will) be used for the studded tyres.

You can have it at cost. €50? I don't have scales for weighing the wheel..my pocket scales for weed dealing don't go that far...:D I'd guess around 10kg for wheel without tyre?

Suggest you organise courier from your end and pm me the details and I'll pack one up.
