Morning all

Could anyone recommend somewhere near-ish to north London to find a replacement alloy wheel for my Focus ST170? Somehow I've buckled the front wheel and am not especially keen on paying Mister Dagenham Motors £200-plus to fit a brand new one.

It doesn't have to be in perfect nick, as long as it's round and matches the other three. I'm wondering about breakers yards, but wouldn't really know how to find one.

Any thoughts appreciated

Cheers

Thanks chaps. Breakeryard.com haven't got anything; I'll give drofuk a call.

I've seen a couple of individual wheels on Ebay, but to be honest I'm a bit suspicious. Why would you only have one wheel to sell? What happened to the other three!?

Any idea how you work out whether a wheel actually is buckled? The one that Mister Dagenham Motors has condemned doesn't look any different to the others, if you ask me.
