New to forum....have a 04 GTO with these rims.

Bought from the dealer and guess what....they have no clue how I can find a replacement.

I hit a 2x4 on the 405 here in LA, bent and cracked the rim...had it fixed but it keeps cracking.

I love these rims and do not want to buy new ones. ANYBODY have any suggestions? I have the spare on now and I look like a fool.

Thank you in advance for any and all help!

the only place that would have them is cleaveland pick a part, they're a salvage yard

these are discontinued so the only way to get them is second hand off of someone

Use your insurance to get new wheels.

Only private sales will supply you with a replacement. No new ones are being made, and these are getting harder to find. Amaizingly, I have 29k miles on mine. They have performed great, and are still straight. I just bought some staggard wheels, and will be using these for local car shows. Too rare for me to use daily now.

Have you had any problems with the chrome pitting or peeling?
I have about 15,000 on mine, just wondering how long I have before they start looking like crap.

Mine have some small pitts, and the chrome is lifting in some spots. Don't forget. I don't drive in the rain unless I can't avoid it. As well as the car sits in the winter, and the rims are stored in my home clean dry, and covered.
