Could anyone tell me where the cheapest place to get a replacement wheel is?

Thanks,

Russ

I have the same problem............i'll be watching this thread with intrest mate !!

Sorry i cant help though

 

[Rustie]

Ive found a dealer on ebay that sells genuine ford parts. He sells them for £210 delivered

 

[Tippex ST]

Still abit steep though mate !!

I'm going to try and find a good used one i think !!

 

[Rustie]

You think? I think thats quite good myself. You always take the gamble of a used one being buckled

Last time I checked the new price of a pre facelift alloy at Ford was £212 and a facelift iirc is £156

If you can squeeze a bit discount out of the Ford dealer and are set on a new alloy I would buy from them

I got a brand new facelift wheel for £130 to have a spare then bought a new tyre,cheaper option is obviously to buy a second hand alloy with a decent tyre but my luck would be if I needed one desperately I knew there would be none available

 

[Rustie]

Are facelift wheels cheaper than pre facelift then?

 

[Sus]

I got a refubed alloy with tyre from another forum member for the prefacelift for alot less than the prices you guys are talking about. Good idea to maybe keep your eyes peeled on the sales section

 

[Rustie]

Thanks Sus.

Ive pmd a couple of people who have had alloys for sale recently.

Hows the weather in Dumfries now? Was pretty bad over the weekend wasnt it? I had a week away up there earlier in the year and ive never seen rain like it...roads were permanently flooded and that was in August lol

I just edited my first post to show Pre facelift price

Strange as it sounds the facelift alloy is cheaper at Ford than the pre facelift wheel

Well ive ended up buying 2 wheels inc tyres of the forum. My first Focus ST OC purchase, sure it wont be my last lol
