[s-cars] Destroyed wheel

[Lee Levitt]

Ed,

I just did a quick google and found this:

Guy seems to have 6, maybe he'll sell you one or 2.

Otherwise I'd watch ebay. There's also a couple of used wheel sellers around
but I can't remember their URLs offhand.

Also, sometimes the manufacturers keep a small supply of wheels on hand for
situations like this. You might want to ask TR to check into this...

Next time buy a couple of extra when you can :) I've got 5 winter wheels and
6 summer wheels for my car, just in case. Makes it easy to run a full size
spare summer and winter.
