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?
Check with these guys to be sure it cannot be repaired. They are the experts. Ye Old Wheel Shop 6363 Washington Blvd. Elkridge, MD 21227 410-796-8400 800-526-8260
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 don't know the seller. https://www.ebay.de/itm/Felge-vorne-FERRARI-599-GTO-AP-Front-rim-ET-Nr-256740/351965663083?hash=item51f2c9cf6b:gsEAAOSw4DJYiI7l I could help with shipping to USA He send without costs inside Germany, so only shipping to USA is on top. (about 80 € with DHL) If you need my help, you can contact me. Daniel
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
