Wanted - 5 spoke alloy off 05 Elegance

[mikes]

A pothole (thanks Surrey CC) has wiped out one of my alloys. Now the tyre won't seal properly.

Anyone know where I can get a cheap replacement?

Assuming it's a 'Solid' wheel then I would suggest your local stealer or eBay...........

They aint cheap new mind, same thing happened to me last year, same rims. I ended up buying a second hand set of Audi rims, worked out cheaper. You be looking at over £300 from stealer for 1 rim.

I have on occasion seen the odd "Solid" wheel listed on ebay for reasonable money, often listed as elegance wheels .

Thanks for the advice but I'm moving the car on in a month and don't want to spend £300 on a new alloy.

Anyone changed their rims and have a spare 5 spoke solid sitting in the garden?

There was some one on here recently who said they had 3 Solids I seem to recall, It was a thread about a guys superb on these wheels. May be worth trecking back a few pages and trying to find out who it was. Thread was a white Superb, they guy had bought my 3 alloys and sourced a 4th.

I've gone back about 10 pages but not been able to find anything.

Was it on the Skoda forum?

Thanks

Yep, have you used the 'search function'?

[mikes]

Searched for 'alloys', 'rims' 'solid's, '5 spoke' and combinations thereof. I've not tried 'white Superb' as yet. Will give it a try.

Maybe someone has got a Superb for spares (ebay of course)

[mikes]

Tried that. There are a couple but I need the 5 spoke solids off an Elegance. Nothing else will do.

Thanks anyway.

Any more clues as to who the poster may be?
