Alloy wanted W210 avantgarde Sador

[TomJones]

Having just cracked one of my alloys in a pothole, I'm looking for a replacement. So I need one alloy if anyone is selling .. it looks like this http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/classifieds-general-sale/81840-mercedes-e-class-17x8-tyres-*feeler*.html
Condition not important as long as it is straight and not buckled and I plan to have it refurb if required.
I can pickup anywhere in the south west

I have a spare one from my 210 if required Tom. I'm a bit far away though (M4 & M25 junction nearby) and unlikely to be coming down to the westcountry any time soon.

Tyre is sound as well.

is it a 16", or 17" wheel, cheers dave

It's a 17".

 

[Charles Morgan]

Ringway is indeed correct, it's 17"

I also have a set of 4 Sador 17s with Michelin PS3s on (although I'd say they were very close to the limit) should anyone be interested. They came off my (ex Ringway) 210 when I switched to smaller wheels.

17x8" ET37 indeed
I got mine welded, but still need one, as I feel a light vibration now at high speed despite re-balancing it.
Mr Morgan, I will be driving to Luton airport in about a month, if you part with one, please PM me with a mobile number and how much cash should i bring with me
Many thanks

TomJones - until you get to 30 posts I can't pm you (or vice versa), but if you ask one of the moderators they should be able to enable pms for you. (Contact Us at the bottom of the page).

I am very much on the way to Luton, and will be around in a months time. Let me know when you are pm ready and I'll be in touch.

 

[TomJones]

Did not think of that, I've been reading the forum a few years now, but indeed, my post count is low ..

 

[Charles Morgan]

Only another 18 and you'll get there (just don't go Off-topic, it doesn't count!)

Charles - do the smaller wheels make a significant difference? I'm wondering whether all of the bumps and fidgets on mine are subframe bush related.

Olly has shown me the culprits both front and rear but I think I'm going to have to spread the remedial costs.

They make a bit of a difference certainly - potholes and ridges are still crashy, but they do soak up a lot more bumpiness. It may also be down to having brand new tyres over those at the end of their life. Olly checked my bushes which are ok.
