Title: 2002 156 Rims
Post by: Mickael Cox on August 27, 2015, 04:54:09 PM
Wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction. The glorious Gippsland roads have claimed one of my rims, courtesy of an overachieving pothole, and I'm not having a lot of joy sourcing a replacement.
It's a standard 17inch rim as displayed below. If anyone has knowledge of one available in Victoria I would be most appreciative.
Cheers

I have had a few wheel repairs done at Neway wheel repairs in Heidleburg, if it is too far gone for repairs, try Monza Motors in Bayswater in Melbourne.
Best of luck trying to get a council or goverment to pay for repairs to your car after hitting a pothole, i went through it about 20 years ago and all it did was beat me up and cost me money, they have an answer to every thing!, Colin.

Ditto on Neways.
I have a brand new set available if needed, but in white, never been fitted to car.
