2004 Seat Alhambra need new alloy

    Hi, had a read of the FAQ but didn't see my question there unfortunately.

    I got 2 new tyres on my car about 4 weeks ago and got tracked and balanced at the same time, noticed that the vibration when driving has been getting worse so brought it back to the garage today and when they checked one of my alloys looks fairly badly buckled, apparently it has had 2 repairs (at least ) done already (before my time)

    So it seems I need a new alloy. I haven't the 1st idea how to go about this, the garage I brought it to said look on done deal, go to a breaker or bring it to a main dealer. The main dealer bit sounds scary expensive but I have no idea what would work with my other wheels and as I have the worlds worst luck with cars (only bought this car in Feb and have already spent a good bit on it.... story of my car life :( ) so am worried about donedeal breaker idea.

    my long winded question, can someone guide how to replace this wheel, without having to replace all the others too?

    Thanks in advance

    Google partfinder or findapart.ie, and enter your car details. An Alhambra isn't that awful popular of a car to have in a breakers so you might have a job to find one. Then, if you do, I would be surprised if a breakers would break up a set of 4 to give you 1. No harm trying anyway!
