How much do you rekon I should be paying for 1 new alloy wheel, no tyre?

I wouldn't buy one from a dealer. Under $200 (in US) certainly from someone who's replaced theirs. More like $100.

Thanks. Anyone in advance of this? Has anyone got one cheaper or can reccommend a supplier? - Just had 4 new alloys under with 1 month left on warranty [bubbling syndrome] and scraped a bloomin alloy. Im not sure if it would be repairable s:?: :?: s:?: s:(

When you say scraped, does that mean just brushed along a curb or battered against one? if just brushed it probably is fixable (they can fill gouges) but if battered it may be bent, in which case it may be unfixable (although wheels can be straigtened if not too bad)

Where abouts are you? there are refurb specialists about that will refurb a wheel for under £40.

I believe Sean (slacey) had a deal with a firm local to him who would do it for £25 per wheel

Rochford Tyres in Essex do theirs for £50 p/wheel, but they have theirs sent off - I think also to Tunbridge. I chuffed one of my nicely refurbished 16" ers the other day, one of those things, it hardly notices. Do you want front or rear alloys batts09?

rear. I'll take a picture of it and post it later, there's a bit of a 'chunk' departed from my nice new alloy. s:scared: :scared: s:scared:

There is no buckling or any other damage, just a carless error on one of the 8foot curbs at the local shops in York.
