My wife just bought a new Skoda Fabia with steel wheels, 'cause the dealer had no stock with the optional Antares 15" factory alloys. Dealer is quoting $1320 to source 4 Antares through their Spares/Service dept. Grrrr...I've seen that the official RRP in Australia for these wheels is $990.
Do I have to ring all the dealers in NSW to find someone to take my $990?
Or, do I ring head office and dob in the first guy?
Or, is there a cheaper and better way to source the factory alloys? I have read the threads on importing from OS, but would prefer an easy path.
Or, should we give up on factory Antares wheels and go somewhere in Sydney for similar 15"s? I could drive to Tempe Wheels, which is FAR, or can you suggest something easier? I want to stay with the factory rubber, which is decent, and stay VERY close to the ET43 offset. I'm grateful for any and all suggestions.
