'Medusa' Alloy wheel!

[jamesclarkson]

I bought a 55 plate V50 in January and since purchace has had what I believed to be a slow puncture. I decided that I was only a slight leak so I would leave it until I had new tyres. Long story short ive had those fitted only to discover the issue didnt go away and I have since found a small crack in the rim.

Would anyope know where I may be able to source one? I am yet to get a price from the main dealer but assume it is likely to be expensive. I bought the car from a main dealer and came with 12months warranty, would it be worth pursuing or am I right in thinking it would not be covered?

Thanks in advance!

Do a Google search, they can be repaired.

As Metblackrat says, they can be repaired - google it.

For info I was quoted 340 quid for a new one in January this year - buckled wheel picked up at a service - got the wheel straightened for 75 quid.

Cheers

Yes these will definately fit a V50, I know because they were on my 2006 V50 2.0D Sport before I swopped with Will (great guy too, highly recommend dealing with him by the way!) for his smaller 17" alloys.
