Redbrick Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Any ideas where to find one for an '05 RT?......Beemer Boneyard doesn't list any available.....Hit a large (150 lbs.?) steel weight dropped from a crane truck or something today while taking a twisty ride out of Ojai.....Bent rim badly, immediately deflated tire and briefly separated me from the seat by quite a margin, but I'm a happy guy.....Kept it vertical and brought it to a stop with me unscathed.....BMW dealer wants about $850 bucks for a new one so thought I'd do a little exploring with my friends here first..... Thanks......... Link to comment

Redbrick Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 Thanks for the quick response ..Should have thought of Ebay...I'll probably make a bid on this one.... Link to comment
Redbrick Posted July 30, 2011 Author Share Posted July 30, 2011 Offer him $400,, Great minds.. ....That's what I was thinking.....Wheels were the same on 12 RT's at least through '07 I'm almost positive.... Link to comment

Paul Mihalka Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Your damaged wheel probably can be repared, even if it looks real bad. Check with Woosy's http://www.woodyswheelworks.com/ It's very nice to have a spare wheel. Link to comment

Thanks Paul.....I'll check Woody's out.....Pulled it all apart this morning, dropped and drained final drive, checked shock, etc. and there is no visible damage other than the wheel...It bottomed out very hard....
