pair of original m400 grey alloy wheels wanted!!!!!

[sean j g]

hi guys as the title says really i am after a pair of good grey noble m400 rear wheels rang the factory they have them in stock but cant/wont sell them to me direct i have to go through a noble approved dealership so they can add there profit!!! on as well which seems unfair but there we go anyone who has a pair or knows a way around the factory rules that can get them direct would be really helpful or any other suggestions would be most appreciated many thanks sean.

Hi Sean, you've clearly bought yourself a bit of a lemon there mate but I'll take it off your hands for a good price
Did you decide to keep it in the end or did the deal go through? It would be sad to see another one go abroad.

I think you're being a little unfair to Noble, how many car manufacturers would even reply to you about stock levels/availability on spares never mind bypass the dealer network, it's part of the manufacturer/dealer relationship.

hi jason yes i can sell the car as the man from belgium wants it but i am now in 2 minds as to what to do every time i go in the garage and see it/drive it i change my mind my brain is saying sell as the price is a good price but my heart is saying keep her!!!!
also i do understand the factory only wanting to sell parts etc via there appointed dealerships it just would have been easier and quicker to deal direct out of interest also do the factory still offer noble servicing.

[TuxMan]

No the factory do not do servicing , James at south west lotus center is very good for parts and servicing i,m sure he can help you out with wheels .

[Rob_W]

If you buy bigger items like wheels from SWLC etc they are actually shipped direct from Noble so it doesn't cause any delay and it's no more diffcult to give SWLC your card details than Noble. This isn't anti you Sean just saying the dealer system does work well.

PS why don't you buy a set of OZs or Comps and sell me your fronts as mine are a bit out of true

[sean j g]

thanks guys rob i have spoken to james at swlc really nice guy and yes he can sort the new wheels out for me but they are not cheap(not james/swlc's fault)!!!!! i have a set of comps but much prefer the look of the standard wheels james mentioned a company that can realign and repair cracks and re-furb all 4 wheels for half the price of one new wheel from noble so i am going to do a bit of research into that option and see if my wheels are repairable thanks again for all your info cheers sean

What car are we talking about ? Just curious I am from Belgium, that's why ; so can we expect another Noble here ?

[sean j g]

m400 yes maybe how many nobles/m400's do you have over in belgium as i noticed you said can we expect another one!!!!!

[bzguy]

Sean, for now just 2 !!!

- 1 blue GTO-3 around Waregam
- 1 black GTO 2.5 around Leuven (mine )

But a friend of mine just bought Chris' GTO-3 (champagne color, gun metal wheels), so that'll be number 3

Probably only 1 M400 but never registered & not confirmed
