Over the weekend, we did brake fluid, transmission fluid and replaced the busted motor mounts. The results were satisfying and car feels great.

However, we found a hairline crack on the left rear wheel. I contacted a shop yesterday and they don't want to repair it because the crack is along the spoke which is a safety concern.

I tried to order online today for a refurbished one and just got notified that they are 'back ordered'.

Any of you know any places to order?

If I order new rims from tire rack, how much can I get for selling the other 3 wheels? They are in pretty decent conditions...

And of course the picture... before anyone that tell me a rat did this... it is not. I got moth ball all over the garages.

Will 1999 17 inches fit on my 2002?

Check our local vendor, Wheel Dynamics.

If they have an acceptable offset. My 99 has the original base wheels which are solid turbo twist 7 inch with a 55mm offset front and 9 inch 55mm rear.

Yes, NB fitments will fit across Mk1 and Mk2 cars.

eBay have single wheels for sale to replace the cracked one?

Are these OE MY02's? (I couldn't tell from the pic). How much mileage and what kind of usage? Some background, please. They just don't crack for no reason.

If it's an MY02, there are lots of single wheels on Fleabay. You might find one there, or maybe someone here has a single.

I would scrape the crack and see if its just paint or if it goes into the metal, decide to throw it away or have it refinished

Checked eBay... many single front but no single rear. . Just my luck. Ordered from one online store that showed in stock only to get an email saying it's back ordered and have to wait 2-3 weeks. Local shop called around all their suppliers and no stock.

I ended up ordered one from dealer. Expensive but cheaper than another set still.

This is oe 2002. Car has 92k miles now. Just bought in march and damage not noted on ppi. Not that I asked or think most people would check. No change in ride and no noise. It was washed before I bought it and I don't remember seeing the crack. I was rear ended but it was low speed and only bumper cracked. Didn't do anything to behind the bumper. Before I drop the car at body shop for repair I had new tires put on and don't remember seeing he crack. Car was flat bed to another location to have he bumper replaced. I don't recall hitting anything or gone through major pot hole. Honestly don't know what happened. I may actually take it to a rim shop and have them see how deep is the crack and if they can repair it that way. Then I have a spare, if cracked too deep then all well.

If it's an MY02 I have an extra.

GASP! Next time I am going to ask if anyone has extra for sale first...

I've had good luck having repair work here, or buying new or refurbished wheels from them if it's beyond repair.
