Anyone has a spare front wheel for the S2 (Sports Tourer)?
6 Spoke Silver

I found one on the net for £197

Wheel = £185
Postage = £12
Is the price right?

Maybe you could get it for less.
Check out item 220072859812 on ebay.

There's a telephone number there, you could give the guy a call (as it doesn't say if it's S1, S2 or what)

Bear in mind that according to what Gareth sawm you should get another tyre as well...

Current wheel is very buckled.
Hoping its not the hub

That price is way too high.

I wouldn't pay more than £50 - they are out there at that price and cheaper.

i remember my univ days when i had a fiat palio (punto eqv). every time i go to the workshop for buying something unusual, the mechanic used to tell me it is in the godown... come tomorrow... i'll give it at a very good price! it took me 2 years to understand that everytime i bought something from him... i was basically giving him 24 hrs to steal it from some dude's car!!
now a £5 wheel for elise sounds like that....

anyways... if u find another one at competitive price... i dont mind being a sinner!

EBay - Item number: 300072968590

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... B:EF:UK:11

Whats the maximum I can pay for this set? or is £300 too much to pay?

Sounds about right - I the ones I bought didn't have useable tyres on them

Or ask if the seller would wrap em, stick a label on em and you can get Parcel2go.com to collect em, they're about the cheapest anyways.
