Hi Guys,
Bit of a big ask I know, due to a irreparable damage I need a single Pirelli edition alloy wheel, any chance any of you know where there may be one ?
Only alternative is to try and sell singly the three very good ones I have left and rethink the whole 18" wheel idea and stick with the original 17" more suited for the roads over here in Crete
Thanks   Steve

I think Motorhog on line salvage has a Pirelli with two nice wheels left on it if that's any good to you? Not sure if they'd ship out of UK though?
If you look on partshark.co.uk it's easier to find the car  :happy2:

Thanks Hanna..  I had spotted that one on eBay and was waiting for him to list them but not many parts appeared, unfortunately if he has a complete set I doubt he will split them,  thanks for the link I have messaged him anyway, nothing ventured etc

He did not elaborate so I assume he has sold the desirable stuff with no need to list it, only some very insignificant stuff ended up on eBay. Worth a try though thanks ...

Thank you very much for your kind offer, you are correct sellers frequently don't want to get involved in what they see as complication they can do without !
You probably would not believe that an alloy wheel is a prohibited item in most of the ' popular ' couriers items it will not carry ....why ? what possible risk can a wheel carry ? If you look at the list it's ridiculous they will soon have banned everything and they will all go out of business, the bonus being, the motorways won't be cluttered up with their half empty lorries !
Rant over, that's why I am in Crete.... but regrettably back for Xmas !

Thanks Rob, that's my ad. But thanks to a very nice man on eBay he pointed me to a German based listing for a single wheel, in nice nick as well, not cheap but under a third of new price ..... So got the complete set again now ..... Happy bunny search over, sale of three cancelled .... Thanks for all you help now just have to miss the 'kin pot holes !
