thats harsh man, unforseen road conditions are bad news. I crashed my first stilletto when there was diesel all over the road, and had just rained Any luck with the wheels? Unfortunatly I'm not around on sat its a friends 21st so i best be there! Ive been up at uni for a couple of weeks, but my net access is poor to say the least. Ah well, hello to one and all hope you are all well! cheers J

Did you keep the bit that came out ? You can get that repaired Nice clean break, will weld up a treat, any decent wheel refurbers will do that for you

Sorry to hear about the stack, Just thought I'd let you know they look the same as the wheels I've had, 13x6 et13 made in england written on them. I've been told they are BBS Mahles. I had another set excatly the same size etc, just said made in italy on them, and these were msw's. So theres a couple names for you to go search. There was a set that went on ebay for £50 not too long ago, not that thats any use now.

Could always sport the "odd alloys" look for a bit 'til you find one!

i have some 14x6 ally cats - look identical to those except bigger. they also have made in england on them but unsure what else. hope you find a wheel soon. if not; some revolutions would look the mutts!

In the latest issue of Classic Ford, "The Escort Agency" are advertising a set of 6x13 Comp CX's (similar looking to Alleycats, but a little better imo) with tyres to fit a Vauxhall (doesnt say RWD offset or not, but I would guess they are) for £100. Doesnt sound a bad price?
Thought either of you Chevette boys might be interested..
Cheers, Greg.
