OK, let me set the scene. I bought a car off my ex's Dad, a Saab 95. Seemed like a good deal at the time but I've had no end of problems with it. My current problem is that the locking wheel nuts on the car were of a non standard type and neither I nor he had the necessary socket to remove them. I went round a few places who said they would just charge labour to hack them off. Then, a mate who is a welder said he could weld a socket onto the nut and remove it that way.
Took the car to him this afternoon and he spent ages fooking around before deciding he couldn't do it after all. On the way home I went to a tyre place and paid £60 to get them taken off as I'm sick to death of the whole thing. Problem being is the one wheel he tried with the welding kit has more or less destroyed the alloy. Does anyone know of any breakers or scrappers where I might get a single alloy wheel to replace the knackered one? I don't want a whole new set, more money and trouble than its worth on this POS. I'm planning to get rid of the car but need it for a few more weeks yet!
