Searching for a replacement alloy wheel for my Cupra

[andy_lux]

Hi guys and girls,

Originally from Edinburgh but living in Luxembourg I've been the proud owner of a 2009 Seat Leon Cupra for the last two years.

I had an unfortunate incident recently where I had to swerve to avoid an oncoming car driving up the middle of the road one night and belted one of my wheels off the kerb, not only destroying the tyre but damaging the alloy beyond repair (according to a local garage).

Does anyone know where I might get my hands on an 18 inch version of the below? I've looked everywhere online but can't find one anywhere! I have a friend who travels back to the UK every few weeks to visit his kids so shipment over to Lux wouldn't be a problem - I just ned to find one!

Even a model number would be a great help as it would help me narrow down the search!

Cheers,
Andy

The wheel is called the Orion, 7.5J x 18, ET 51, offset 5x112 (part no. 1P0 601 025E 1BC for the chrome). They are difficult to get hold of second hand and a dealer will charge you £300.

Legend, thanks Tim.

At least with the details I won't have to trawl through acres of alloys online trying to find the one I'm after!
