Find a matching wheel on ebay or an auto salvage place. The refurb people you spoke to will almost certainly know where to get one.

Auto salvage is the way to go. I got a wheel for my Impreza with an almost new tyre on it for £30 from my local breakers. It was a rare one too as it was a design only used for 2 years.

There have been a couple on ebay but they are collection only and down in Englandshire. I really don't like dealing with breakers

Start with the refurb guys - they'll know where to get one as they're bound to need replacements for damaged wheels they find are too badly gone to repair.

I thought about Bibs this morning. My current client is based a couple of miles outside Marlow on a former country house estate. The modern buildings are very sympathetic to the main house but what I really like is the parkland setting and views over the Thames Valley. Why did I think of our Scottish electrical genius? Well, one downside (?) of the setting is the large Bambi population and travelling in this morning the car three in front suddenly slams on the anchors as one shot out in front of him. The car behind just missed a nose/tail interface and I had the lucky ringside seat from the slight right hand bend 50 metres back. I will be even more cautious on that road now the daylight hours are receding.
