I have the "miro" brand 20" M6 time attack replica and one on the front is bent. They're staggered and the front is 9.5 wide. Cant find anyone to repair it b/c of the way the lip is. Miro discontinued making these as well! Does anyone know where i could purchase 1 rim to match?

Even another brand is fine if it looks the same...

Kane: yeh a little off-road action! LOL! Ive been taking it around to a lot of repair shops so its getting more and more dirty. Hoping to get it fixed or replaced ASAP then ill get it all cleaned up for sure!

Dimik: im in Jax Beach, FL. i "think" i found someone that can fix it in town. ive had 5 different rim repair shops turn it down. fingers are crossed!

Maybe a truck shop would be better equipped to handle larger / wider wheels.

Some of those 4x4's use pretty exotic wheels and if you find the right one they won't mess up yours!

not true. I cracked my stock 18" rim. Many, many, many, others do also. I think a fair to good quality after market wheel is more robust than most stock BMW wheels.
