need to "borrow" a wheel for a few weeks
Here's my dilemma -- I have a crack in my rim, and I have 19x9.5 VMR VB3s in super silver. I've called a few retailers and they're all out of stock, apparently the factory won't produce any new ones until later on in the month
The problem is, my wheel is leaking air. I was wondering if anyone has any good stop gap solutions, or if anyone can "lend" me a wheel that'll fit my tire until I get my new one My tire size is 265/30-19, btw |

There are tons on M3F. I believe there is an ad for 2 rears in the classifieds right now!

It might help to know where in Cali you are. I'm in Orange County and have a set of 4 18" OEM rims with run flats on them that could be borrowed. I would not go canyon running on them, however, they are a good set of rollers.

I'm in Redondo...so yeah, that'd be awesome. I don't go canyon running or drifting on off ramps or anything so don't worry. Lemme hop over to m3f and see if I can get a replacement rim really soon, if not I might take you up
Where in OC are you? |

A cracked rim like that would show a weld bead. I do not think I would want that look if it was me.

I have not seen it either. Just going on what Clemente said and the look when the guy down south had his rime re sized from 9' to 8.5', was not a good look. When my rim was cracked I was told they would need to weld and there would be a bead showing. It sounds like the Op is looking at getting a new rim, probably the best choice. It's not like it is just curb rash, the rim is leaking due to the crack.

I had someone at Discount Tire tell me that because of the cracks I have in it (one big one that's the culprit) and two smaller ones, or three smaller ones, that they won't repair it. The reason I went to DT is that they sold me a tire, and I thought the tire was the problem
imz4n, I'll PM you as soon as I have enough posts, I think I'll take you up on your tire |

Has a set of 18' rollers on and I will take his 2 cracked rims down tomorrow and see what can be done and he can make that choice.
