Cost of a new Fiat 5 spoke

[Anonymous]

Enquired at the Fait dealer how much a new
std 5 spoke 15" alloy that are fitted to the HLX would be as a heavyhanded French man knackered the rim of the otherwise perfect alloy while trying to mend a puncture while I was on holiday. Wait for it.....
£189.88 incl VAT. It's only a std Fiat fitment
6Jx15".......not an OZ 19" racing rim. They want payment in full, up front. Might think about that one. £120 maybe but £190 Fiat are having a laugh.

Anyone know anywhere else that does std Fiat alloys alot cheaper than the dealers?

Would you be able to post a pic of the style so I can see if it is indeed the ones I'm after.
What sort of condition are they in? Is there any damage or wear and tear? Am only interested if at least one maybe two are mint. Do they have any tyres on? Would prefer without to be honest. Where abouts in UK are you based?

nope cause, one, i figure a repair will not bring the wheel to it's original mint condition, and two, repairs of this sort are always not as good as made out and end up being yet more hassle. anyway the edge of the rim has been flattened as an ancient tyre changer was used more suited to wooden or steel wheels. plus there a few heavy scratches on the spokes and around the valve.
