Antera wheels?
Say, I managed to acquire a set of Antera 15" rims, they are supposed to fit a 944.
But, one of the rear rims is broken. In my estimation, beyond repair.
Any thoughts about where I may enquire about a replacement rim? Preferably from someone's broken set, or leftovers? I looked for 'Antera' on the forum, but nothing specific....
Looked on e**y as well, and all that are there, seem to be 18 & 19 inch rims only....
I went online to a site called 'Street Dreams', who 'had' Antera wheels. Even 20 & 22 inch wheels there. The ones I have aren't listed. Nor was there a division for Porsche's. Even the official Antera website doesn't list these rims....
Any help out there?

Are you certain??? Besides the bent edge and bead area, and the scraped inside of the rim, there is a crack, with uneven stepped edges, radiating about an inch and three quarters into the center of the rim..... And who knows how far the crack actually extends?

Sorry Nelson,
The owner has passed. From some other accident, I understand.... No info was given, other than he had bought these to put on a 944, then sold the car before he ever put them on....

totally fixable. I've seen bent rims way worse get straightened nicely. As for the crack... it couldnt hurt to ask a wheel refurbishing company like stated above.
best of luck!

OK....
Went to Wheel Medic in Columbus, who told me these wheels fit a BMW, not a Porsche! 5 x 120mm is the bolt pattern.
So, I'm done with these. Thanks for the help guys!

sucks to hear that man, but for everyone's information i've seen wheels with cracks fixed before. i work at a tire shop. it doesn't look pretty per se, but it is fixable, although sometimes the wheel will remain bent a tad.
