Yes Jimmy, get the alignment checked and corrected... I had mine done this week at Subaru £80+vat and I noticed a slight difference in performance which sounds odd but true.

Always best to check because if it has knocked it out you'll be paying more than that for a new tyre and then you have the dilemma of having a new tyre on the front and worn one on the other side etc...

Try ebay.

I wouldn't be scared of getting a slightly kerbed wheel, even in the wrong colour. Go to the local refurb guy with it and they will refurb and spray in the correct colour for 40 quid.

It's not got a tyre mate, It has a few marks on it nothing major,
Av got a few pff7 cause there rare as fook now in the 100pcd,

Want £100 for it but if you don't want to pay that much then it cool,
Would rather keep it than sell hence the high price,
