Just realised that two of my alloys are cracked... £1200 to replace... Guess it may be an opportunity to upgrade to a different style wheel all round? Gutted though, as just had an extension built and am somewhat skint!

I certainly have never knocked them - even potholes I am so cautious... Oh well - guess that's life!

Are you sure that they are cracked?

Mine look like they have cracks. However, it turns out that the brush that I was using to clean them had a bit of metal sticking out of the end of the brush. Ouch! irked

The standard 19" 7 spoke wheels on the 4.3 Roadster? Have you tried wheel refurbishment companies to see if they can be repaired?

Failing that I have all four 19" 7 spoke wheels coming off my car which I will be selling really cheap, even prepared to split and sell them individually. They do need a refurb as they have scratches and some paint bubbling around the spokes, but otherwise they are in good nick (no curbing and they are straight).

Or are you looking for an excuse to your other half to upgrade the wheels? wink

I also have 4 of these wheels available now. They don't require a refurb and I'm happy to sell them at a bargain price. smile

You was mugged wink

Saying that, was only looking for £65 a wheel for mine if buyer collects as I got a good deal on the replacements.

You're not wrong but after 2 attempts with a reserve of £599 I really couldn't be arsed any more and I really, really, needed the space wink

If anyone is selling their wheels I can recommend these guys to collect and deliver to the buyer
