Long story short, I'm selling my car and it has been pretty much parked for a few days now. Don't know why or how, but apparently, II must've had a crack in one of the rims from a long time ago and it must've developed while the car was just sitting there. I could repair this one, but I'd rather not - not that I'm a huge believer in karma, but I believe in doing the right thing. And I don't wanna sell the car with a repaired rim - rather would buy one. Anyway, please help, if you have a spare 123. I have an Xi car, so ET43 offset wheel is the one that I need...

I'm in NYC but will pay for shipping too, if I have to...

in case you need to know what it looks like:

Have you tried calling Gary from Newport Bmw?

You truly are a gentleman and a scholar. Unusual to find a seller with an attitude like yours. If you cannot locate a wheel, try LKQ (national wrecking yard). Keep in mind that wheels and doors are the hardest items for them to sell typically. Tell them what your are doing, and perhaps they will give you a disc. Or, ask your local garage to help you arrange for a good price if you find a wheel.

This is an excellent forum to locate wheels; I bought 9 wheels here over the past year for BMWs.

Can anyone here arrange for a good price on a used wheel for him???????

Saw one on ebay 2 days ago. Selling just a single wheel. You may want to check it out.

Yes, I saw that item as well,

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...RTQ:MOTORS:1123

and as soon as I've realized I have another crack in my wheel, I contacted the seller asking whether they warranty the wheels they sell. The answer basically led me to believe that the seller was intent on commiting mail fraud, as the answer I've received read

"Thank you for writing!

We are sorry, but we are currently sold out of these wheels. Hopefully, we will have some in the near future for you. Please keep an eye on our store!

Sincerely,

Hubcapandwheelman"

Immediately after the item got delisted on eBay. So best case - these guys have no idea what they are doing, but what seems to be more like the truth is that they actually post items for sale, without having them in their inventory, which, if I'm not mistaken, is basically mail fraud, as - I imagine - some people simply use "Buy It Now" with them and just pay rightaway. Yes, they seem to have a good feedback, but somehow I just got a really hard time believing that these people do business honestly or with any competence... I don't know... I'm staying away from this seller.

For all, my rim is being repaired, so for now, I'll give it another shot and see if it holds - will repost if I need the rim again; but hopefully, never again [fingers crossed]
