Hi

Long shot as I've tried everywhere else
A few weeks ago I finally got caught out by my 930 in the wet, big old tank slapper coming off a roundabout, not enough room to correct it on the flip and smacked the kerb, destroying the very nice rear Ruf alloy wheel (amongst other things).

Of course Ruf don't make this wheel anymore and I'm having real problems locating anyone who might have one or a set that they want to sell.

The details are
17 x 10 AH E=5
The part number might be R11 362 119 01 (but I think that's the front wheel) It has a polished rim as well.

Anyone that can help me locate a wheel will be my best friend and no doubt a little richer !

Email me at jm@webheads.co.uk

Is it repairable in any way? a very skilled whel repairer can do some wonderful things.... itd cost a bit, but more than likely not as much as a completely new rim.

Hi

unfortunately it's a one piece wheel and it might be repairable, but I don't think you could trust it really.

It's bent and cracked !

Are you desperate enough to go international? These folks have them in their on-line store, but they're in Canada.

Thanks Bodo
That's the new Ruf wheel, but I'll email them anyway in case they have an old one available !
