Broke my Wheel

Long story short its a little snowy and icy here and I had a run in with a concrete divider island and managed to break off about 4" of the lip on the front driver side wheel. Does anyone know of a place where I can get just ONE black 17x9.5 zr1 replica wheel? If I have to ill give into ebay,but I'd rather not if I dont have to.

Re: Broke my Wheel

Plenty of companies make that wheel.... unless you want to scour boneyards, ebay and companies like oewheelsllc are your best bet. They just make them in different offsets so be very careful and measure yours.

oewheelsllc.com I believe sells them in singles. Bummer to see that happen!

Re: Broke my Wheel

So update, went ahead and got two repros for the front. If they seem too noticeable ill get two for the back also. I need to go back to a 9.5 wheel in the back anyways instead of 11.5 so this is slightly a good thing.
