Bent a fuch. What do I do now?
87 Carrera 6 J x 16 black spokes, polished edge, slightly out of round with some curb rash. Are these available new or will I be looking for a shop to repair it? I am in San Fernando Valley Southern California. I guess I will need to have the other three polished to match the new/repaired one so I will need a shop anyway.
Thanks, Jeff

Send it to Al Reed in Anaheim, CA. If anyone can fix it, he can!

Do you know where I can get a used one? Parts Heaven is looking. Pelican is looking. Anywhere else?

Give TRE or KevinP73's shop (AIR) a call to see if they have any extras kicking around. All you need is a temporary one while the original is getting repaired, right? Both shops are close by in Van Nuys. TLG is over in Burbank/N. Hollywood, too.

How bad is it bent? There are tons of places that will straighten it out properly; any higher end delearship can give you a few options. If it need's cosmetic work and straightening, better stick with one of the above mentioned places known in the 911 community.

Another option would be to roll the sevens to the front, and get some eights or nines for the rear. Sevens and eights are a nice combo.
