    I need to find a single 14x7.5 inch Cromodora mag wheel for a 1976 308 GTB that I smacked into a curb and chipped. Please don't ask how one could be so stupid; I already feel suicidal since it wasn't my car.

    It needs to be pretty clean, but the finish doesn't matter - I can fix that.

    So far I have called and left messages (who's open on the weekend anymore?) at Ricambi, Rutlands, Lyle Tanner and GT Car Parts. Any other sources? Yes, I already scanned E-Bay and htere's nothing today.

    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    there is one on ebay now, listed under "buy it now" -- an outfit in Sacramento (their ad says they actually have 3). If that doesn't work out, I'm sure Rutlands will have one, probably the others you listed as well -- they are not that rare.

    There are a couple of places that will fix chipped mag wheels. I'll find the info and post. I have to get some chips on my 16" mags fixed.

    Franc,

    Thank you for that link. It must be new because I did not see it earlier. I ahve emailed the vendor to make sure it ia mag wheel and not alloy, but it looks correct.

    Oh, and I need to update the initial post - I require a Campagnolo 5-spoke wheel.

    The Sacramento eBay outfit could be Lyle Tanner - I believe that's where he's based out of.....

    Lyle Tanner sells new or NOS stuff and they have some great replacements in 16", but not what I need. I already talked to them today. The do have an exchange where u can post ur needs and hope. I'm still in the hunt!
