    The pothole infested roads of the Northeast finally took its toll on one of my front rims.

    The barrel of the HGTE rim has a rolled lip and the repair shops I have contacted don't want to touch it. I contacted OZ in Canada and they only handle race rims and not OEM. I've searched a variety of sites but the only one I have found with any inventory is in the UK. The wheel holds air but I would rather not have any unpleasant surprises. Any thoughts where I might find one of these unicorns?

    Thank you all for your input. I was aware of Eurospares but the exchange rate and shipping just took my breath away. Normally I am in the UK every quarter but for the last year or so I haven't been anywhere so the shipping was another hiccup. I'll try the folks in Maryland and see what they have to say.

    I am currently trying to do the repair vs replace route but I may run out of the first option very quickly. I am traveling right now but will visit Classic Coach in Edison NJ and Ferrari of Central NJ for their opinion. I have also sent a note to the folks at Ye Olde Wheel Shop to see if they think it can be repaired. Once again thank you to all that have offered advice or help.DZ-96, Tazandjan, George V and odf911
