Default options pls, i'm desperate. ;[

I have a set of 15x7 gunmetal 57c gram lights. Of course one of the colors that are pretty much impossible to find now cus they're out of production.

Well I broke one on a curb before winter, and can't find one for the life of me. What kind of options do I have here? The guy that painted my car told me if I had to, to get a silver replacement and he'd paint it. But can I get the 'gram light' sticker on the spoke?

I just need a decent temp fix, i need a wheel bad, im getting tuned may 1st @ evans.

Any ideas??

on k20a.org someone was selling a new set of gramlight stickers for all 4 wheels.

how bad is the damage? maybe it can be fixed and painted?

if not, buy a silver one, if you can, and paint all four a new shade of gunmetal, or the color of your liking...

look for a rim repair near you and have the rim color matched by the guy who painted your car.

heres where it is, it's a nice chunk right out of the lip.



I'm afraid its gonna blow out or s/t ..

I think getting a diff color one is out of the question now too cus everyone i've tried doesn't have any and will need to order (60-90) days ;\

sigh, i might have to get a set rotas to hold me over till i can get new wheels.. ;[

that's replaceable, there's a shop in PA that can fix that, PM "TYPE X" he had his volks and other rims worked by them, they can probably even do a color match.

good luck.

Try contacting Mackin Industries, or a shop that sells Rays wheels that can get a hold of Mackin. I had luck locating an ultra-rare centercap for a set of JDM Rays wheels. You never know.
