I have 2 hairline cracks in my front right mag wheel, and it is causing a slow leak and some anxiety. I have a set of 4 x 19" Snowflake VXR alloys (5 x 100 PCD), and on them I have 4 x 235/35 ZR19 91w tyres that are pretty new.

I am having a lot of trouble trying to track down a replacement wheel. I will contact holden tomorrow, but was told a single mag may cost as much as $1400.. Any ideas what I should try ? I would even consider a mis-matched set at this point, I don't have a lot of $$ to spare right now.

Thanks

I found these .. $1400 delivered to darwin. I have heard these should fit, and all the specs seem to match.

I realized these wheels are the wrong size !! 5x120!

I bought these instead

Can't wait to see how they look.

Gheeez, you'd be spewing when you kiss a gutter with these ones (or crack a rim...). I'd buy a spare one on sale while you can cause you wouldnt want to pay 2100 bux for just one wheel !

Pretty much any 5x110 wheel will fit, some most Saab wheels will, some Alfa wheels do as well

I will probably sell them as singles..... If I found a beat up single for $400 I would have snapped it up.... The 4th wheel might be repairable, but no way will I trust a weld...

I guess if someone wanted to pay $1000 + Delivery from Darwin I would take that. Otherwise, I will just have to see what EBAY coughs up.

Cheers
