Help Please..SSR GT1---Alex, or anyone

Hello,
This is actually one of my first posts...I just bought a used 02 mcs and starting to discover seller wasnt honest. One of my rims is bent and I am having trouble finding a replacement. It is a SSR GT1 18x7.5. Looking for anyone selling one, or where I can buy one. I may even buy two since this is getting difficult.

Alex, I live in Newark, DE where you have a warehouse. Any chance someone returned one, or you have a scratched (minor) one sitting around that I could buy??

Any help would be appreciated. Discovering that seller sold me this bent rim without telling me has really ruined my mood about the car for now.

If it's not too bad...

check your local yellow pages for wheel repair. It can be done. But with the very low profiles that you're probably running, you'll run into this again. You may want to look for some replacement wheels, and go smaller than 18".

Thanks guys,

I have had one garage say that they cant fix the bent rim... Maybe, I'll call around. These rims are impossible to find anywhere--even ebay. One reason I bought this car was that the rims seemed to make the price a good deal...

Most rims I have seen online have 5 lugnuts...But these only have 4.. Probably add to the difficulty of finding one.

also try: www.fixrim.com

www.wheelcollision.com

SSF sometimes cracks when repaired... i had a IntegralA2 fixed at
wheelcollision once. I shipped them two and one of them they said it
cracked.

I endedup buying 2 new ones and used the one repaired one as a
spare. this was for my old car that i've sold many years ago.
