Have you considered having it repaired. It may be quicker and much easier than to find just one mag wheel.

I have seen them repair some and had some of my own really badly damaged rims welded and machined back to original. And no need to doubt stregth of repaired aloy wheels, I raced on repaired wheels without them cracking or breaking....

Thank you Malcolm, I will take it to Rimrite here in PE. The mag was cut with a angle grinder. I am assuming that a previous owner had lost the key to a “locknut” and had no choice but te cut the rim to get it off the spare wheel holder, so the damage is a bit of a safety issue. Hopefully it can be repaired.
Thanks again for your suggestion. :thumbup:
