Hi, thought I'd try here to see if anyone has a spare wheel they have for sale.
The story goes something like this, the tyres were getting low anyway and I appeared to have a slow puncture, so a pop to the local tyre dealer got me a reasonable deal on 4 new PS2's. So that set me thinking I may as well get them powdercoated whilst the tyres were off. So I found a good place to get the coating done and got the tyre dealer just to remove the tyres today.
I was just about to load them in the wifes car to get them to the coaters and noticed that one wheel has a crack about an inch long on the inside edge - oops .
So now I'm stuck. I've got a booking at a powder coaters, the car is on axle stands in the driveway and 4 tyres are turning up on Monday. Not a good day.

marmite is selling some wheels in the classifieds..have a butchers..

Is it the slow puncture one that's cracked? I have a slow puncture that's getting worse but the tyre itself is almost worn out so I've been living with it - I hope I haven't got the same issue.

As s4woody says Marmite has a couple of brand new Plus wheels for sale and a few people have a 5th wheel as a spare that they might part with.

I'm selling a pair of OEM's 5 arm 19" and have mailed you.

Thanks for the offers, but I think I'm sorted now.

Now I've had some time to think about it, its lucky the cars fitted with pressure monitors and forced me to get the tyres removed, other wise it could have been much worse.

Looking a bit closer, it looks like the crack has been there for a while, and not that Ive hit or damaged the rim in some way. Has anyone else seen anything like this.

Oooh bugger, you don't want that when doing 150mph (on a private road) now do you!! Glad your sorted.
