Plenty of places do replicas, or try a8parts, they're bound to have some wheels about.

He is honestly better off ditching the PAX run flats and buying a used / refurbished / new set of alloys and normal tyres.

The PAX run flats are getting really hard to source – most dealers no longer support the system and can’t get the tyres anyway.

Expect to pay anything from £300 to £460 per tyre for the 245 690 R500;

I was recently quoted the below from an Audi dealer.

The costs are as follows.
Tyre’s £300.00 plus Vat
Tyre fitting kit £32.00 + Vat
Metal Valves £11.50 + Vat
Fitting of Pax tyres (ATS) £45.00 + Vat
This makes the cost of supplying and fitting each tyre £466.20


EBay often has some on – it fact there are two sets on there now, one set with 7mm for around £1000 and one set with no tread for offers

I really would think carefully before buying more, ditch and get standard wheels and tyres.
