Hey, so one of my wheels is in need of replacement. I don't wanna spend an arm and a leg if I don't have to. When I google it I find them from $100-$500+ and they mention them in various finishes, silver sparkle, chrome, high polish etc. Anyone know the best place to go? It probably doesn't have to be brand new, because the other wheels look good, but not showroom perfect. I've also seen remanufactured, but I've been told you can't trust the finish lasting if they're remaned. Way too many options and prices, all I want is another plain old original wheel!

Just an FYI.... original wheels were forged. Aftermarket cheap wheels are cast.

Not to be an a$$ fastblackmerc, but tylerdurden2816 did "specifically" ask for a source to purchase an "OEM" rim. I've got one rim w/ "road rash" and I'm looking for the same info to be honest. :)

After cleaning up some wheels last week I think the OEM wheels are Billet cut.

As for the OP keep your eyes on the site they come up from time to time or junkyards if they have a wrecked MM.

I have two original wheels in great condition. PM me an offer if interested. Below are a couple of pics I took a few weeks ago. I didn't clean them before I took the pics, but they still look great.

No, they are forged.
