Swap a wheel in South Wales

Seanalf · 10th April 2016, 11:48

I've just stripped out all the boot looking for my water leak (so luck do far), realised that I have an odd wheel.

My car is fitted with 4 x 15" alloys (No 1 part on this page)

In the boot, I have 1 x 16" alloy )No 3 part on this page)

So, anyone got a 15" they want to swap for a 16"? No good to me as my OCD won't allow it lol.

I'm in South Wales, Newport, Cardiff, Abertillery area

Hello

For your info..

From the link pictures the 15 inch appears to be a 'comet' alloy whereas your 16 inch is a 'union' alloy.

I may be mistaken about number 1 as the pic is not very detailed.

I can't help BTW but this may make it clearer for others

Thanks Scaramanga, links in a bit more detail

This is the 16" http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-RRC117051MNH

Thread moved to a more appropriate forum. Re-direct left in old. This may be the better forum as threads get ‘lost’ very quickly in the General Forum.

Pics of both wheels # 2 & 3 (and others)....

I have 9 of these Contours (15") but 4 have been "promised" but cannot be collected until October.....

Also 4 have been refurbished, but are also used as I have since 'moved up' to Unions (16") as I prefer the look of them.

So could very well do a swap

Collection only though....

PM me if interested

PS tread on the tyres are from not legal to legal.....

I have Comets fitted by the look of it and the spare is a Union.

Happy to swap, Cardigan isn't somewhere I get often mind

If you are ever heading along the M4 on a weekend however......
