Default Wanted: 18’’ Ixion wheel

My dad splatted one of his wheels against a pothole on an A-road last week. Dealer wants £575 for a replacement. Does anyone know of a better source?

Lots in eBay, but make sure it's the correct part number... a while back I was looking for a couple and theres a lot of different Ixion types, some even look the same but have different part numbers.

Sorry to hear of your dilemma. Winter can play havoc on tyres/wheels as the holes are less obvious and generally deeper. I always buy winter wheel and tyre combos to protect smart alloys and give better confidence in bad weather. Saying that, I've just done a trip up to the highlands on new winter tyres, but felt seen off as temp was warmer than down South! Reassuring in the rain though.
Shameless plug; I've a good set of winter wheels in the for sale section :-) Open to offers.
