wwwd Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Need to keep an eye out then, Ebay is not showing much help ATM. and I don't know where else I could try. Just look at the back of the car magazines the next time you're in the local Tesco. eBay is only good for BMW wheels because there's loads of 3 Series' on the road and there's a market for them. Type in 'MV2' and you'll see loads of results pop up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRic Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 You say you want it oem but then consider replica wheels. No different to going aftermarket wheels imo. If you're set on being as oem as posible you'd be better with the originals with a different finish. Can they not be stripped/polished then laquered? There's a guy in Scotland who's supposed to be the danglies at polishing wheels. A bit far away but you could maybe splash out on a wee break at the same time? The guys got a great rep in the VW scene. clicky He'll rechrome aswell if you prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sortedford Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I doubt anyone would make rep wheels as theres no market for it over here.I'm sure places could make you a set specially, but youd be cheaper by far refurbing the ones on there.
