Cost of replacement car wheel ?

[LIZS]

B*gger. dh got a puncture going over a pothole. Tyre place says the wheel needs replacing , anyone have any idea of cost please - Renault Scenic 1991

Can't find any price lists anywhere but this place says it can get them verycheapveryquick. There's a getaquote link at the bottom.

Do you happen to know if this pothole has been there for long? Only I believe you can sue the local authority for the cost of repairs if it's been negligent (I've read about it in Honest John, he gets v cross about potholes and speedbumps causing damage)

ask for a remould it will be cheaper than a new tyre

Did Renault make the Scenic in 1991 ? I used to work for Renault and AFAIK it was launched around 1997-1998.

Fircone, I don't think it's the tyre cost that's the problem...

Have a look on Ebay ? Unfortunately Renault parts are v expensive.

Do you mean the steel rim that the tyre goes on.
Do you have any breakers yards need you ?

A scrapper would be cheaper, but you don't know where it's been...

You could ring round garages and see if they have any second hand ones.

sorry 2001 !! Yes it is the actual metal bit the tyre sits on (hub?) that needs replacing. We've already spent about £1200 on it this year . Not sure if it is named on the local pothole campaign but will check.

They call it a rim I think.

That link I posted sells used parts but they are guaranteed for 6 months if I read it right, so cheaper than new.

LOL at your timewarp

B*gger £130 and they'll have to order one so won't arrive until New Year . Is it actually illegal not to have a spare or just for MOT ?
