Where to buy replacement alloy for Mondeo?

    I need to get a replacement alloy wheel for my 03 Mondeo Zetec and am being quoted a whopping €200 (inc. VAT) for it by the local Ford dealers. They are not interested in even offering a discount for two (as I was thinking of getting a second as a full-sized spare). I hate to pay full price for something that I just know they are making a huge mark-up on. Anyone know if you can get original Ford parts outside of Ford dealers?

    Failing that, what breaker's yards are good around the North West Dublin/Meath area?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Try Caldwells in Oristown (Scrapyard) or did you look on ebay?

    Just be very careful buying a used alloy wheel (especially from a scrapyard). The rim could be damaged in a way that may not always be visable to the naked eye, could be trouble down the road.

    Try www.traynors.co.uk, they deliver to the Republic.

    Many thanks for the advice. Caldwells sorted me out. They are not in Oristown though - they are the other side of Kells. There is another one in Oristown though - so thanks for both tips :)
