Default WTB - 18" ALMS Wheel

Looking for one or more 18" ALMS TT wheels to purchase. Just purchased a Silver 2002 ALMS TT. Unfortunately, a few of the rims have bad curb rash. Love the car. edvpt@yahoo.com. Thanks.

Default Good luck, the real ones are spendy...

Have you looked in to having your repaired?

Default How much does a set of OEMs go for??

I just purchased an ALMS, and have considered selling my set of rims in favor of some blacked out rims with silver lip... how much are they from the factory? and how much are replicas?

I might be interested in selling my set if the price is right.

Default difficult to find a repair shop for RS4s

apparently the paint is near impossible to match due to some additive not allowed in the US. I've been thinking of taking mine on a "European Vacation".

Default That sucks, I was hoping to get one of mine repaired..

Do you know how close they can be matched? I have one rim with bad curb damage, I was thinking about sending it to wheel collision center.

Default eBay is always an option...

you may get lucky. I did, and snagged a single rim off a member of this forum, even. Good luck...

Default the TT shop in UK sells some pretty good reps at a decent price, as alternate.

if you get two on one side refinished together it won't be as noticeable

Default I'm interested in your 18" ALMS wheels

If your selling let me know. I only need one, but if they are in decent shape I may be interested. I could possible use the current set for snow tires. 18" Snow Tires?
