Contact Jdorociak@gmail.com he has refurbished two or three sets for me actually doing a set as we speak , he has a source German or Italian that supplies new spun aluminum rim halves in the correct sizes then machines the holes .

The wheel halves are the easy part. The RS Speedlines use gaskets to seal the 3 pieces which are often damaged during disassembly - these are hard to get, which Jim Dorociack is able to. Jim is also perhaps the ONLY person outside of Speedline that has the ability to replicate the Speedline for PORSCHE etching which will likely be necessary due to the fact that the outer lips were etched, assembled and then the clear coat was applied.
As Budge suggested - contact Jim. Pay the money and be happy!
