Homer Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 Hi all Last month I managed to crash my car and severely damaged one of the wheels (pic attached). Purchasing a new set of wheels is extremely expensive so I would like to know if anyone can recommend where (or if) I could get a replacement rim for the one I damaged. The wheel is a 2-peice Blitz 17inch x 10.5. I have no idea which model Blitz wheel it is. It would be a shame to scrap the entire set just because one is damaged!

CJ Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 Try Ibrar at Pro Alloys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 I dont think he does Blitz, that wheel looks old as its not in their current line up for alloys, which may mean that they have stopped producing it. Try ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 Auctions are your only hope. The wheel design is 5 year old and Blitz certainly don't have stock anymore. Sorry Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hornet Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 Ouch, I hope the curb was sorry! I did this in one of my previous cars and the alloys were only a year old, I tried for a replacement but couldn't get one. Seems like if they are not the current model your stuffed On the insurance side of things, when I did it they would only pay for one wheel and I had to pay for the other 3... That along with the excess on the policy ended up costing me £1200 for a stupid little crash. I learnt my lesson "don't drive too fast on roads I don't know, as you never know, there could be a T-junction right around that 60 mph corner" needless to say I couldn't stop and rammed the curb to avoid a crash.

Homer Posted January 15, 2005 Author Share Posted January 15, 2005 Thanks for the replies guys, I have kind of given up hope of finding a replacement in the UK as I've never seen these wheels anywhere before. Paul, many thanks for the offer It was the drivers side rear (not sure if thats offside or onside!!). Heres the info stamped to the back of the wheel: - 17x10 45 (I guess 45 is the offset) - Y-031-L - A/7 - 94/12 - 620kg Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
