    Browsing old threads it appears several people were interested in buying single 575 Modular wheels, I assume to replace a bent or damaged wheel.

    Anyone with a damaged wheel on this site? Was that a common occurrence?

    I have a damaged front wheel 188475/210660. It hit a curb and has hairline cracks on a small part on the inside of the barrel. I refuse to sell damaged wheels. In my opinion, this wheel is not safe for road use, only a decoration or man cave art of some sort. The center piece is fine and is worth some coin. The barrel is the part with the small crack and I would not use or sell for road use. Safety first.

    On another note I have five nice 19” 575 Modular wheels it needed.

    I agree on cracked wheels on road cars....but it would make great wall art. Its tragic how many magnesium 355 Challenge wheels were lost to cracking.

    If anyone has a single damaged barrel front modular, let me know....the center must be intact (not bend/not cracked/etc)

    I am going to try to re-barrel as a custom set for a 512TR. I have one (thanks again Matt)

    The 512TR rear is 10.5" Rear +81.75 wheel. I am going to *attempt* to rebarrel a 19in modular as a 10.5 goal ET in 70-80 range.

    No idea if this will work at all, but worst case, I will have an interesting thing to hang on my wall.
