scott.evans Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 I've done the unthinkable and kirbed my driver side front alloy wheel and it's so bad it's not repairable. Does anyone know where I can get one from? Nissan have quoted me £750 inc vat and that's with some trade discount. I feel sick and need help! Thanks in advance Scott Quote
Billy7766 Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 Wow you must have given it the beans to smash the alloy up like that? What happened? Quote
M13KYF Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 what bad luck. It may be worth speaking to Holdcroft (Nissan Dealer) as they do forum discount or you could try Mr.F at MJP. He can also source Nissan parts with discount. See forum discount for more info. Quote
Beavis Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 Think Holdcroft do them for £500 refurbished but dont know if that includes the discount, Quote
scott.evans Posted April 10, 2007 Author Posted April 10, 2007 Thanks guys. I've just ordered one with Steve in Holdcroft. He did it for £499 which I'm well happy with or as happy as I can be!). Thanks again for your help Scott Quote
Removed Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 damn, that's the price of a forged wheel of course you couldn't go out and buy 1 better wheel just for the sake of it though mind you all the drift cars run on front wheels of one type and rears of another type Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 You should also get your steering geometry checked out as it's likely to be well out after a bang like that. by the way. Quote

ClaireZ Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 ah no! sorry to hear that! at least you have a new one, you could have had all 4 of my wheels and tyres for less than that!! My new wheels have turned up so don't want my old ones!! Quote
SwissZ Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 Hmmm, seeing this is making me wonder. I'm using my Rays as 'don't care that much about them winter wheels'. What will one of them cost if I slide into a kerb?? Quote
Chesterfield Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 Having had a Ray replaced, they apparently cost about £700+Vat from a dealer for a new one. I bought a set from Ebay for £990 - but as they are now standard on 06 cars, they probably go for less now. Quote
SwissZ Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 Wow! Might have to reconsider putting them back on next winter Mind you, with the way global warming seems to be going (it snowed twice all winter in Zurich!) might not need winter wheels! Quote
Jacko Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Having had a Ray replaced, they apparently cost about £700+Vat from a dealer for a new one. I bought a set from Ebay for £990 - but as they are now standard on 06 cars, they probably go for less now. Yeah I think its £734 or something +VAT! They told me as my claim is "trying" to get pushed through for bubbling wheels! Quote

sl114 Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Fook me! Im so glad i got a second hand one for £100 when i damaged mine due to that bloody Mondeo!!!!! Quote
