    ....long story short, I have visitor's from UK staying and heading for Ferry tomorrow ex Dublin.

    But an errant Galway cat's eye completely mullered the alloy wheel.

    So I need an XC90 wheel pronto, preferably used. A full size steel would do.

    Any help please to 086 4048668 at any time. Any full size wheel will do of the right size if I can get my hands on it to get to the ferry.

    Wheel is 7J x18H 2x49. *

    ...well, the jury is out on that one. Had a real good look at the rim today and wtf it hit/hit it, did the damage from the tyre face. Yet the tyre hasn't a single mark on it.

    Weird is not the word.
