Not the ones I've seen, hobo - I went online just before I posted to check, there's actually a warning about them being single use only. If you can get rechargeables, more power to your elbow :)

Expensive week for us so far. Switching to gluten and lacto free food and forking out for a new wheel and shock ab for the damn car. :evil: So far the wheel is coming in at £700 and the shock at £300..

£700 for a wheel :shock: Try looking at local salvage or breakers yards I’m sure you will pick up a good one for no more than a £100.I assume it’s an alloy wheel.

If you can find the correct wheel you will get a good deal from a breakers.

A single original equipment wheel from the dealer might cost you more than a second-hand set.
