Had a customer with a hired GS come in with a puncture today. The wheel was a bit rough, looked like it had scraped the kerbs a few times, and when we took the wheel off the inner rim was cracked (Wasn't him allegedly). Wheel was a 20" 5-double spoke bi-colour so phoned dealer for price and availability.....£410 inc vat and a 2 day wait, guy nearly fell through the floor!
To cheer him up I said chances are he would probably need a tyre as well (another £100+) but with a bit of luck the tpms valve should swap over...thought he was going to cry.
Asked him if he was insured and luckily he had taken out full cover so will only cost him a wasted day swapping hire cars over tomorrow.Shocking price for one wheel tho!
