Alex W Junior Member Offline Posts: 235 Northants Gender: Drives: Facelift Elite 2.5 V6	WANTED - Wheel for Facelift Elite 25. Oct 2009 at 15:32 I need a road wheel to replace one buckled in an argument with a kerb. See http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1255358837/0#0 Mine is only very slighly buckled so it will need to be perfect to be worthwhile. I'm in Northants and can collect within reasonable distance. Thanks in advance

There was a single wheel on eBay recently!

now where was it? Undecided

FOUND IT!

It didn't sell at £40 but it's a bit far from you Alex, but OOF or ABS could likely get it down from North of the border.

I bought this wheel, I had a damaged one as well - paid 40 quid for it on a buy-it-now when my phone bid failed. I had to arrange to send a courier to collect it as the seller refused to post it though. I only saw it when it was posted by somebody on here Thumbs Up!

No, you've probably got the 17" Imi's, these are 17s from the very last of the Elites and Mv6s made (and the 2.2 Sports) Thumbs Up!

May have Pic somewhere, Chris.

To be quite honest Andy I can't see any buckling at all. The car drives fine, no steering shake at all.

When I had some new tyres fitted last week I asked them to check the wheel after my argument with the kerb and they said its "slightly buckled".

This thread arose because I asked on the main forum whether I should bother going to WIM for wheel alignment while I have a "buckled" wheel, now I come to think about it no-one actually answered that question it was just suggested that I look for a replacement wheel here.

Perhaps I should just email WIM and see what they say. What do you think?
