Default WTB (1) 2.5 RS type 5 spoke wheel. Pref silver, but...

Hiho,
Got a damaged RS 5 spoke, I need a replacement, preferably silver, but color not crucial, condition must be good, minimal rash, no cracks/bends, etc.

Looking for one, but if you have two or a set, talk to me. I don't need tires. These are for my snow tire setup.

PM me here. Thanks

That sucks... I can't imagine those wheels are easy to come by these days.

They're around, but overpriced as hell. They seem to be exclusively advertised as "JDM WRX wheels" now.....

Anybody know who might be able to repair a wheel in Reno? Might be able to get it fixed.

I had a good experience at Sierra Wheel Repair. You can read about it here.

Sweet, thanks cody. Never knew they were even there. Exploring my options, gonna start by removing the wheel and seeing if its either the bead surface or the valve stem leaking since the tire shop couldn't find a leak supposedly. Im going to try a better tire shop first, then I might bring it to your guys if its realistic. Found a guy with a set of 4 for sale too....decisions decisions. Thats a lot of ski money Id spend on wheels.....almost a set of bindings

I had a crack in one of my stock wheels from hitting something, maybe some wood on the freeway that exploded when I hit it. See first pic here: http://www.seccs.org/forums/showthre...ht=wheel+crack

I also can recommend Sierra Wheel Repair, he was able to save a wheel that I thought was a goner.

Im thinking its either something wrong with the bead surface, a crack somewhere, or hopefully just the chrome valve stem being worn out. Hard to find a shop in truckee willing to give it enough of a look with everybody getting their snow tires installed these days....thinking I might just get a kiddie pool and dunk the bastard myself.

They do crack repairs and such? I don't have bends or curb-age so much as I think I may have a crack.Ill have to call them out on friday.

Thanks for all the feedback guys.
