Best Place to buy New Alloys ?

I think im going to need a new set of Alloy wheels for my supe,

i noticed a rythmic rubbing sound last week coming from the drivers side rear wheel,i thought something like a toffee wrapper had stuck to the tyre tho..,

Anyhow, on the way home from work last nite a fella ran across the road to my window saying,. "excuse me i think theres something wrong with your alloy,its making a rubbing noise"

How he could hear it over my exhaust i`ll never know ! as its a realy realy quiet rubbing noise,

to hear it i have to coast the car with my head out of the window.

Anyhow im having it looked at tomorow,.

but if its the worst case scenario and the alloy is screwed wheres the best place to get some new ones from,.. ?

or even good clean pre-owned ?

Thanks.

Id say its more likely to be a rear wheel bearing

Failing that Envy or Ibrar

I would go with the rear wheel bearing

my rear bearing went did not know how bad it was un till i went to change it and noticed that the hub had worn aswell

Have a look through these Darren, give me a shout if there is anything I can help with.

The bearing is around £100 from Nic IIRC, then its just the labour. But can be quite a labour intensive job if nuts have seized.
