I need one ASAP 13x 7 in ET 5 slot rim

I am running 3 of these and would like one in a 7 in width X 13 dia. if this is set that someone needs, dont break it for me, BUT does someone have an extra single wheel to replace a bent one for me?
thanks

PS: the ET centers are easy to find on ebay , new condition for about 25-35 a set.

what are they worth?

1- I think if someone swapped you a weber 32-36 that was jetted correctly,
rebuilt,tested and ready to bolt on with the linkage piece, and thick gasket that would be a fair swap for the rims and shipping.you could be running with a new carb in 1 hour or less...air filter and housing would be nice too. A good deal for you.

2- in the opel club, a set of 4 slotted mags is commonly traded or sold for around $130-150 w/o bolts or center caps...i consider this as a price amoung friends.


the best option is #1, you will be up and running the fastest at the lowest cost.

you may get more $$ ebay or you may not...with the funds ,you would be back on ebay loooking for a carb that may not fit or may not work properly.

3- the rims need to be verified for fit and "TRUEness"..like a bike wheel.
these are my opinions for what that is worth.

i will check with otto,but..

There is a place in the Dallas area that can fix you bent wheel as good as new, they guaranty there work you can also hae your other three reconditioned also guaranteed and they will look like new. Check with Otto 'tekenaar' he has had several sets refurbished and or repaired.

there is a shop here in KC Mo that is known by the gear heads to be able to straighten mags, something about an expensive press that they have at one of their stores.

they fixed a friends mag, but could not fix mine for some reason. its got a 1/4 in wobble that i never felt..probably caused the shot ball joints on that side . they sent the wheel out,kept it for 2 weeks and said "no go". they did try as the tire was removed in the process.

it doesnt seem possible that another shop could help, but it may be my only option..a phone call to them wouldnt hurt.
