What to do with damaged alloy

Trampas · 2009-12-17 18:26:54

Have a 2006 Ford Feista It has the 7 spoke alloy. I need to replace 2 of them as they are cracked. Rang one ford dealer to enquiry about price of new ones and he said €175 + VAT. I heard I should replace all 4 alloys with normal wheels as this will say me money over time. So my question is should I replace the 2 alloys…

So my question is should I

replace the 2 alloys with 2nd hand if I can pick them up in a scrapeyard? How much would I pick them up?

Buy 4 new wheels? who are good to buy from?

Buy 4 second hand wheels?

Thanks in advance
