W204 Alloy Wheel Wanted

[HowardD]

Hi All,

I need to send away the two front wheels on my W204 - They are the 5-spoke 18's which have both been kerbed (like in the pic from Autotrader below). It will takes roughly a week for them to come back - They have a painted and what looks like a diamond cut/polished finish. My current plan is one of the options below: -

1. Buy a spare set of W204 alloys so the car can still be used while the two fronts are being refurbed

2. Send away both front wheels as planned, put the spare on, along with another bought wheel, put the car in the garage (it's a single garage with not enough room to take off a wheel), and hire a car temporarily.

Does anyone have either a spare set of W204 wheels (preferably with tyres and any style as long as it will fit a W204), or a single wheel or spacesaver that I could buy, beg, borrow, steal, rent......

Thanks, Howard

Being a prize prat, I should have mentioned that I live in Bracknell, Berks.

Can't help with any wheels I'm afraid, but why not get one wheel done at a time and use your own spacesaver?

Yeah, I thought about doing that. I don't know how useful the space saver is but I dont want to commute every day for two weeks with the spare on.

If I did one wheel at a time, with the car in the garage, then we'd need to hire a car for two weeks, instead of one.

Its probably cheaper to buy a wheel or set, then sell them on ebay afterwards.

The W204 is going up for sale after the wheels are done. Thanks, Howard
