Since one of Gov Schwarzenagger's cost saving ideas apparently is to defer required road maintenance in SoCal, I am in need of a new or used front rim for my 2004 C5. Since the rims are quite soft (apparently due to the very open design of the five spokes), my rim was irrepairably bent with a single pothole encounter last week.
The tire was not hurt at all, but the inside of the RF rim was bent and the wheel is no longer viable. Now I know why the racers used forged wheels from manufacturers like Fikse...
Does anyone have a single rim or a set of take-off rims for sale? Please contact me at mangusta1969 "at" hotmail.com or just reply to this forum. I am going to buy something in the next day or two, but would like a break on the fierce dealer price for a new rim. Thanks. Steve
