    Hi,

    I have badly damaged one of my alloys in a pothole and need a replacement. Unfortunately its 200 quid to buy new (ford focus 04 15" 10 spoke original alloy)

    I have tried numerous scrap yards here and across the border but no luck. Tried ebay also and there was 1 but the shipping + cost of alloy means I would probably be better off just getting a new one.

    Any ideas where else I could look? Unfortunately the spare is a bloody space saver so I cant even use that to keep me going!

    Thanks

    Thanks for the replies! :)

    The ones I am looking for are in the ones in the ebay linky above thanks - I have been watching ebay but these didnt come up in my search for some reason.

    Its cracked unfortunately not just bent, just under one of the spokes so not really worth taking the risk. It could be fine for ages or it could pop a mile down the road...
