Re: New wheel for Bongo - very confused
Update, Mike from Wigan's Wheel Quick is fab and is sending me up four steels, wheels trips and the right nuts (I think). So hopefully my wheel problems are at an end..
Would have been lost without this forum so thanks again

Re: New wheel for Bongo - very confused
Ok update - Wigan Wheels guy says he might have one! but won't know till he goes to yard on Monday. Failing that he has 4 steels that would fit. Question - how do steels differ; are they better worse etc. I Just need wheels so am not fussy but would like to know....

Not exactly sure how to measure them but from rim to rim diameter (with tyre on) is 16 and a half inches.

Re: New wheel for Bongo - very confused
Thank you for your advice - will follow it up.
Does that mean tho that I can't use just 1 wheel from a set if it is different from the other 3 wheels?
Also does this mean I have to use Bongo wheels or is it just cheaper/more authentic to do so?
Tyres are all fine I think but guess they will ...

full service, 3 days later overheated badly on Motorway
and now needs new radiator....
What I am wondering is there a connection - could the garage (found on Bongo friendly garage list here) have mucked things up to the point where the overheating caused a sudden huge leak in radiator 2 days later?
