Sourcing a specific replacement alloy

DublinDilbert

Hi All,

Is there any business / websites that deal in replacement alloy wheels? just need one but would like the style to match the rest of the car. Can get at the dealer but would like to avoid paying full wack for it.

Its a fairly common type, only 16", so i'm sure there's lots lying around where poeple have upgraded. Tried the likes of adverts, ebay, donedeal and buy & sell already.

Did you look at www.alloys.ie?
If you post a pic or more details maybe someone will know more.

I'll have a look at that site thanks.

I'm looking for one of these (BMW alloy wheel, double spoke 154):-

I'd even buy a set of them if someone was selling them after upgrading...

You could try http://www.traynors.co.uk/ in Armagh. They deliver free to Dublin on Tues and Fri. Take a note of any identifying manufacture numbers\letters on the wheel.

slightly off topic i know but i was shocked to realize a few years ago that bmw would not sell you one wheel only 4 at an outrageous cost !

Try www.partfinder.ie. Most scrapyards in Ireland are registered on that.
