Hi guys,
my wheel was dented by a supposing-ly pothole (I said supposing-ly because when I went back to that road, there were no potholes at all!) and the tyre has been deflated. Anyway, just wondering if anyone has any WS Fiesta Zetec wheels/tyres looking to sell? |

Seems to be common with those. Take them to a tyre shop and they should be able to get them re-rolled. Alternatively. http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?rt...=p3286.c0.m283

You can have the rim repaired for about $200. You just need to weigh up if it's worth it versus new wheels because you will continue to bend them once in a while as time goes on. A new Zetec rim is $800+ from Ford AU so new wheels are not a viable option. Locally in my area where the roads aren't dead smooth most of the Zetecs are running aftermarket wheels now. Another option is to buy the original wheel inc postage from the UK for about $400

@greenfoam , can you please link me to where I can get original wheel inc postage from UK for about $400?
Ford parts UK charges around $200 for one here: http://www.fordpartsuk.com/shop/ford...5147_c_416.htm Thanks guys, so I think the long term solution is to fork up more $$ upfront to get after-market ones then. Can anyone recommend any tyre shop? Bob Jane and Beaurepaires seems to charge an arm and a leg for a set... I'm in Sydney preferably around the Parramatta area? |

jmzcray, I'm pretty sure the place I got the quote from was the same shop you linked.
The wheel + shipping was around 400 or even just under that |
