New wheels
This may be the wrong forum to place this in but I beg a short term indulgence.
My youngest son was lucky enough to survive a tyre blow out the other day but is having a devil of a job sourcing new wheels as he managed to flat spot the rims quite spectacularly. He is looking for an immediate over the counter availability of wheels for a Mondeo RS. He's running 18" rims with a 4 stud hub. Does anyone know a supplier in the Thames Valley area that may have stock to hand. Thanks foe any assistance. |

I can't really help with suppliers, but how bad is the damage. A bit of yellow pages action might be able to find someone who can repair it. You might be surprised what they can repair (I was!).
It might not be cheap, but a lot cheaper than replacing one (or all four if you can't find a match). Other than that if you want four then what about ebay? |

Chigley - I thought this was gonna be a wind up as I read it , thinking it was going to end....on his pushbike as he is only 10 years old....you don't look old enough to have a 'grown' up child, probably more mature than you thinking about it.............
