    i've tried everywhere to get find 2 rims for my mk5 golf, and they only seem available from the dealership at 200 each :( they're only 15"!!!

    as they're so new obviously breakers and dismantlers wouldnt really have them, am i stuck, or is there somewhere i may have missed? :(

    i need some pretty quick, as i had a slight kerb encounter :lol:

    *this isnt a wanted advert, as i doubt anyone would have any!

    For the cost of two VW rims, you could probably buy four bigger nicer aftermarket rims!

    can they not be refurbed? They have to be pretty bad to be
    unrepairable!

    look in yellow pages theres places that come to u and do them in an
    hour or so!

    thanks, i'll give them a go!

    Ben, I wasn't driving like a prat ;) i just lost concentration on a bend and the ABS pumped back at me when i thought i better slow down, and by that time i'd hit the kerb pretty damn hard! haha

    so it looks like its gonna cost about 450 including sorting the tracking/wheel bearing out :lol:
