saddler Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 With the old K11 Micra I've been running I started to put aside any spare new wheels as I found them. Now swmbo has swapped over to a Fiat Panda she wants to do likewise. That way as soon as we spot any tyre issues we have a wheel ready to swap over; plus the thrupence saved per car, bat****-crazy bright-red space-saver abomination spare can be ignored (or dumped) for something of standard trim...and the normal ones make for much safer driving too. Drawing a blank on possible sources for Fiat-fit 13" rims though Got a couple of possibles on Ebay but a lot of the sellers state collection only = and few of them are a reasonable driving distance from Edinburgh!! Open to ideas on where else I may be able to source some spares from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonepark Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 Car breakers usually have them by the dozen..... Try giving scb at Newbridge a call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saddler Posted September 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 Cheers. Not new in the area, but never really seen anything like a half decent scrapyard like the ones in the North-East: used to keep several Mini's on the road courtesy of parts from old wrecked donors Will look them up & give them a try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McSpredder Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Maybe worth trying R M Scalley, Robertson Bank, Gorebridge, EH23 4JT. Nothing like as big a stock as SCB, but used to have a lot of old stuff stacked up. In the past I have submitted a search request through https://www.breakeryard.com/ or https://www.partsgateway.co.uk/ and got multiple email/text quotes back very quickly (including delivery).

saddler Posted September 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 SCB website came up with zero results. Will try the Gorebridge dealers & the online options next. Ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R1nut Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Register on breaker link, put in an exact description of what you want and they contact you. It's nationwide, so somebody will have one. I have used them a few times. Saves hours on the phone ringing round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
