Fiona was driving to work this morning and ran into a crater on the main road, resulting in a busted NEW tyre and badly damaged alloy wheel, so I'm putting a call out to see if anybody may have one lying around to match.Cheers:sos:

there's a merc breaker near Roscrea/Borris in Ossory that might have what you need. If you can find them and call them to see if they have one I'll be passing there on Firday afternoon. I could collect for you and bring back to Portlaoise on Sunday?

If you can't locate a second hand one there was a guy at the Fermoy show that repaired damaged alloys, cant remember his name but I'm sure someone here will.

Ok so called to wheel doctor today , just home now, fixed it while I waited (45 mins.) sorted buckle out and welded crack also, got the balance checked on the way home in a tyre place, feckin perfect, happy days, 75 euro. Alot cheaper than paying 450 euro for a new rim the merc garage quoted me, feckin robbers.
Thanks for all the help people, highly reccomend this guy(y)
