Gah! SwashBuckled Ahoy!

Dr. Z · 03-06-2007, 00:05

One of my tyres recently started going flat, which was a PITA - looking at the tyre somehow a chunk of tread was missing, so I've probably driven over something thats made a teeny hole in my tyre and let the air out slowly...

Fast forward to today - go and get some new tyres put on the back (the other one wasnt in the best of shape anyway) and after they had fitted the tyres and charged me the money (ok, my Dad took it down for me as I was in work, but still...) they told him that one of the alloys was fairly buckled (it looks fine to the eye but on the balancing machine it looked fairly off).

Going to have to try and find some cheap wheels for it now, preferably ones that are the exact same size as the ones I have now. There is a set on Ebay at the moment that are in better condition than mine, so I'll watch them and see what they go for.

Bloody cars! :mad:

If you post a picture of the one thats busted, I can try to match it at my mates scrappy if you like.

S'ok! Found a set of 4 on ebay going for next to nowt, bought em and will swap them around so I have the best of the tyres and alloys on the car plus one as a spare. Will end up with two left over which will go back on ebay to hopefully make back some of the cost
