Like the title says. Im looking for a single front turbo twist wheel. NON HOLLOW SPOKE. 8x 18 et50. (so it matches my others)...
leads appreciated...anyone unloading a single one in GOOD shape.
Thanks.
ran over a small manhole cover that wasnt seated correctly in the street. One hell of a whack to the wheel and trashed one 300 mile BFG KDW tire...and ruined one said rim. Im so FN pissed....1/2" more to the left and i would have missed it.
Pictures later.
FYI...if you dont have one in your tool kit get your self one of those tire plug kits to patch holes. Worked great..and got me home after i got the compressor hooked up.

here's a set in FLAT BLACK powder coat for sale on Renntech forums.
Got the new tire yesterday and had it mounted to the dinged rim...it doesnt hold air.![banghead](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/banghead.gif)

I did a very similar thing on a 944 a few years ago, it may sound stupid, but just try absolutely hitting the hell out the wheel to try and get it back to shape...
It worked for me....

The pro wheel repair guys do some pretty amazing work. It's worth asking the question. They do the straightening and refinishing to where you can't tell it was damaged.
I've tried Rawky's sledgehammer trick before in an emergency. It got me home, barely. The wheel was straight enough to seat the bead but ended up cold cracking later. Had to buy a wheel to replace. Moral-- don't hammer on cold aluminum.
