More specific than thread in General Gassing - does anyone have a spare W204 C63 rear wheel (19" multispoke) they are open to selling me?

I'm in UK on holiday, I have a crack in rear driver side alloy.

Car is 2012 C63 w204 estate, on the 19" satin alloys (multispoke style)


I'm in Tywyn in Wales and need to source an alloy quickly, on holiday for the week with 2 small kids.

Any ideas on where best to source and courier one?

Thanks PH massive

Would this do? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/166047012989

I wouldn't buy it via ebay as they'll probably require them to ship it to your billing address - there's a phone number in the listing.

Thank you, that came up on my radar too, appreciate you taking the time.

Would something like this work as a ‘get you home’ solution?

May need to put on the rear wheel as your car probably has big front brakes.

Horrible situation you are in - hope you find a solution soon. My sister had a similar issue on holiday in Devon a few years ago when she got a cracked alloy on an X5. Tried several places to get it repaired but no one wanted to risk it. Ending up having to get the car recovered (she had roadside assistance) and getting a courtesy car.

Is it fixable.

There are plenty of places that will weld up alloys because of our terrible roads. It would give you more time to find a replacement.
