I had one shred a couple years back, but didn't damage the wheel.

For a single replacement, try these guys...

THanks guys.

By the way, anyone know if a 18x10 rear wheel will fit a 265/35 tire?

p.s.

for all you would be Boxster buyers lurking, that's $560 to replace one (probably China made) replica wheel and one boring (albeit life saving) snow tire.

I have 265/35 on 18x10 rear.

PLap,

Theres a shop here in LA called LAX Wheel Refinishing. They manufacture wheels for Ford, Chyrsler & GM.

I just had one of my Range Rover wheels repaired by them and can't be happier. You may want to give them a call.

$55 to weld/repair
$75 to weld/repair and paint to factory finish.

If you like the style of your wheels and aren't happy with the condition these guys will make them look brand spanking new.

Let me know if you want their info.
