    Ask in the Athlone/Westmeath Forum.

    Most good tyre centres will get you good alloys / replica's, balance and fit them for you.

    I was in a place in Dundalk and they had 2009 style VW 18" alloys at a very good price.

    Sooo if they can get them any good tyre fitting centre should be able to.

    They quoted me £3,200 for a set of BBS E26! :mad:

    BBS themselves quoted €2,800!!! :eek:

    emailed Pro Parts twice and I never got a reply. Actually I got an automated 'thanks for your enquiry yada yada reply.

    Was talking to a dude in evolutionbodykits.com yesterday. Martin is his name, very helpful dude, doing his best to source E26 Rep's for me at a decent price. They're located in Longford.

    Finding it quite hard to find the wheels I want in the size I want. Called a few, mailed twenty-odd. Much easier to copy & paste than call them all! Got three responses so far! :( What's the point in having an email facility if you're not gonna bother answering?

    A tyre centre in Ballinasloe sells alloy wheels. They will fit them and balance them and all for you. Its only what, 20 mins by car from athlone? It is Fox's tyre centre. They are opposite the new hotel on the N6, behind some apartments.
