993 Cup Wheel Repair/replace
Cracked a spoke(center section) on my 993 Cup rear wheel(10") at Monticello last week. Any suggestions for parts or replacements?

Original Speedline wheels. Since my original post have contacted previous owner who had a second set of Speedlines and purchased at a very reasonable price. Also have a new set of Fiske Wheels but much prefer the look of the Speedlines. Thanks for the info regarding Carnewal and I will make an inquiry. Would still like to find a center section to complete the set at a reasonable price.
Also am going to refurbish both sets, any suggestions on this would be appreciated. I would like to replace all the hardware on the wheels and would need a good sourse for that, as well as your thoughts on bead blasting and polishing the outer rims(ethching would be sacrificed). Thanks for all the input.

Make sure to do a stress crack on the centers. You buy some sort of liquid, leave it on the rims and if it shows hairlines you got problems coming... I had it on 12 wheels! VERY costly to fix but no compromise on safety... These wheels are at least 13 and some are 17 years old now so not so bad when put in perspective.
Good luck
