Title: MV6 alloy...
Post by: steverubberduck on 16 August 2008, 11:43:24
This may be a strange request, but i am after 1 mv6 alloy.
Has anyone got one knocking around?
The person i bought my car off has kerbed one of these quite bad, so will need replacing.
Can anyone help???

May be easier If you added the age of your car to this thread mate as the pre & facelift cars had different types.

If its prefacelift, you're knackered.  Virtually every 2nd hand one will have issues, and you cannot buy new any more...

It's a pre-facelift model.
I'm partly tempted to buy a set off ebay, keep two, then advertise them back on ebay.
Surely there's other people that would want a set of 5??

I very, very, very much doubt you will get a straight set second hand - I know, I've looked.

I have 9 prefacelift wheels, 7 are either buckled or oval

Well I have just fitted 5 new ones on mine  :P
Only messing. Got them off ebay about 18 monts ago, now i have a car I plan keeping for a while I decided to bite the bullet & boot them up. Look nice too.
Keep checking ebay as you said you would. Patience is a virtue & a goodun will surface.

The fifth is the spare for the record ;)

I asked at Vauxhall about buying new ones, like Jaime says you can't get them anymore.
The best ones I have seen are on Elite Pete's car, no wobbles either  :o
Just waiting for him to go on holiday now ;D ;D ;D
