Default Anyone have an spare black 5 Split Spoke rim

I got a flat tire going down the highway and bent my rim. Just curious if anyone has one they would sell. Maybe you bought a new set of wheels and have these sitting around.

Mine look like this except the logo is red.

How badly bent? If you find a good slot wheel specialist they can straighten them. The jag 20inch wheels seem soft and bend easily. I've repaired the ones on my XF a few times. Results are perfect and balance out properly. Costs about $100 per wheel near me. Much cheaper than buying a new one...

X2 on having them repaired.

You can do a search nearby to you, or ask at a detailer or high-end-car dealer. BMW dealers have a budding business with wheel repair.

The center cap just un-clips from the center...

The guy at the tire shop said it seemed to have a little wobble too it. I don't feel anything unless I'm 75-80 mph then I feel like a small vibration. It could be in my head but I don't think so.

I've always heard fixing a rim weakens it? Do you think that would be an issue?

I havent had good experience repairing wheels, they kept coming back slightly bent everytime I change tires, also a recurring slow leak issue.

Now to be fair it might just be I bent those again just by driving on sitty roads, but I'd take a new rim every time as long as its not too cost prohibitive.

You can also source lightly used OEM wheels at Midwest Wheel & Tire.

I'm a little intrigued by this.
Lots of reports across various sub-forums of OEM Jag wheels, especially 20" ones (due to the shorter tyre sidewall depth in theory) being very prone to buckling and other damage from hitting almost anything.
I have been running on OEM Jag 20" wheels for several years now (Nevis on the XFR and Blades on the F-Type) and I have never had any such problems, despite the roads in my neck of the woods being pretty crap with plenty of potholes and literally millions of "road zits" - water/sewer/electrical cable etc etc access manholes, quite often waaay below road level, which they ALWAYS place right where you would normally have your tyres traversing. Gutter rash yes, punctures yes, but zero wheel buckles.
I keep a constant watch for road zits and potential potholes so as to manoeuvre around them, maybe that explains why I have been so lucky?

I’ve cracked a rear Gyrodyne hitting a moderate pothole on a tight turn freeway entrance ramp. I had the crack welded up and use it as an emergency rear wheel/tire if ever needed.

I've had alloy wheels repaired (not on the Jag) by this company in Bath, PA. They do GREAT work! They always assure that repaired wheels are TRUE.
They also offer refurbished replacement wheels (best to contact them and ASK.)

Refinished / Used Factory Alloy Wheels Sales & Repair - Wheel Collision Center

Nothing recently, though.

++++++++++++++++

I currently have signs like this on my cars with low profile tires:

I'm considering getting another one but a refurbished wheel is 500 dollars. But how do I know if it was a bent rim fixed like mine. If thats the case I should just go get mine repaired. A new one looks to be 900.
