one of mine is bent. I have the stock rims. i'd like to get one that is new old stock, because if i buy a used one, it might also be bent.

Watch ebay and the f/s forum here for used ones, otherwise the dealer $$$.

X2 check the FS section here. Not all used rims are bent. You will want to state silver or chrome also.

Same question.
I have one wheel that must have been cursed or something because it causes a pull no matter which tire is on it. It doesn't vibrate and looks ok except for a bit of curb rash. I'm just looking for a replacement for that one though and don't need a whole set. (Right now it's back on the right rear, where it's evil ways only cause a slight pull to the left instead of the strong pull to the right it induces when on the front axle.)
Are yours part number 9965476060 or 9965486060?

i don't know what the part numbers are, but they are the earlier style. (twisted spoke) also, the only way i will let them go are as a set. i have no use for three wheels sitting around.

Ok, so not the wheel I needed anyway.
I was thinking maybe you might have been willing to sell them one at a time if you could get orders for all 4 wheels first. There are probably a lot more potential customers for 1 or 2 wheels then for all 4 together, since curbs and potholes tend to only take out at most two wheels at a time.

My wheels look exactly like the ones in the link above. They aren't shiny like chrome trim is. My wheels don't look at all chromed to me. A picture of the two types of wheel side by side (or at least is similar light) would help though, if someone has a link handy.
Thanks

Hey man! These are used, but it seems like a decent deal if they're not actually bent.

I called the one shop that I know of locally (well 20 miles, in LA that's local) that actually does this work in house, and without seeing the wheel they were thinking it would run 100-175.

I can't make out the chrome finish in that picture but I'll take your word for it. Too bad because otherwise it's the right wheel. The shop I called said it would be 175 to refinish the chrome to silver and guarantee a match to the color of the other wheels.
Guess I'll post a WTB in the appropriate forum and see if anything turns up.
Thanks all.

You seriously can't tell that is chrome?

Nope. I can tell chrome from silver in person, just not in that picture.
The wheel in the picture looks a littly shinier than I'd have expected for a silver wheel. But that's not entirely unexpected since the wheel is wet and cold (note the snow). So the extra gleam could be from chrome or it could be from a layer of water or even a reflection from the camera's flash.

can you tell in this gihugic picture?
i suggest not auto-resizing
(the 323 badge is painted to match the silver finish wheels that i have now)

Yes. Thanks.
On the front wheel there's a sharp reflection on the lower part of the rim area. Even when just washed the silver finish on my current wheels doesn't reflect like that. It's a little harder to tell on the back wheel as the angle is so shallow.
Is that you in the distorted reflection on the bumper?

Hey I'm new here and was reading through this thread...
I have stock rims on my 2003.5 P5. I hit a pothole last night and bent the right front. I've included some grainy photos from my cell phone. Since I have very little knowledge of these things, does anyone think this might be fixable? Thanks.
