Won't look pretty but a Sierra wheel (possibly many other Fords) from a scrap yard ?

[tinks v8S]

been refurbed could borrow and bring down if needed

I'll trump that one Tinks
I've an oz with a tyre but it's in Redditch.
Long shot, but if it can be picked up, Phillpot maybe ?

Glad to help but would need to know by 10 this evening!

It's a refurbed Oz 8 spoke and the tyre is brand new
not been driven on. So should be fine.
May not go with the Split rims if still on the car but ....

Hold on hold on. I have all 4 Oz's could have a full set !!!!
My car has Joes old Imolas on it at the moment.

Roof rack Mike. . Just let me know if the ones needed.

Hi Guys, King of the last minute panic
here
Thanks for the kind offers, but
I think we have a local solution here in Hedingham.
Worst case scenario is a Ford steel wheel, but I'll still be going regardless. C u tomorrow.

Un............believable. I've never known so many problems in the run up to a trip! Hope Glenn can get it sorted.

At least the weather is looking better than it might have done

Iit`s an original OZ slotted alloy a bit flattened on the inside rim. General consensus is that it can be straightened out ok. Tyre is a gonner though,..... and I thought Stockport potholes were deep!
I was hugging the verge to avoid an oncoming truck and BANG! Whoops ....oh dear. Glad i decided not to rely solely on Flatmate aerosols. No chance with a big split in the sidewall.
St happens.
