Default Wheel Help, please

i have managed to bend a rear wheel on my 02 996. the wheel is an italian replica wheel, designed to look like the 'Carrera' OEM wheel. i can't find a replacement, or, frankly, a name for the damn thing.

Does anyone know what this is?

where to find one?

or, if you have an odd set, can i buy an 18x10 wheel?

or, if you need one or three, i have available.

Any help would be much appreciated.

You can try a place like this LINK. They repaired a few of my wheels when I lived in Cali. A friend of mine had a 5/8" open end wrench go through the center of his rear wheel on his NSX and they fixed it.

WAC carries the italian replica of the one you posted. The replicas are 18 by 10 and have 65mm offset just like factory. Google them...they run 120+shipping or something like that
Thats funny...I had the same replicas and had a bent lip on one of the rears...
