Rapide wheels

Looking to replace or possibly repair my wheels. The clear coat has checked almost overnight. Really strange. Not having much luck finding oem wheels or aftermarket

Very strange for sure. Any chance you can have them refinished? I'm guessing structurally they are fine...Yes? If I wanted to keep the OEM appearance I'd explore the option of getting them refinished by a pro.

There are some various options on Ebay for Rapide wheels and others.

I have looked and there is a set the same as mine. I asked for additional photos and the refused. I was told the look good in the photos. I thought I saw some curb damage so I passed. The bolt pattern is unique to Rapide. A few others listed to fit other models as well so I ignored those.

I’m looking for a high quality wheel repair company but I haven’t found one I’d be comfortable using.

Look on eBay and keep looking. That is where I bought my OEM winter wheel set.

I have the same issue w/ my (previously refinished by the previous owner) diamond-cut DB9 Sport Pack wheels. A reputable shop near me said they can refinish them (w/ a 4 year warranty) for $700. I just haven't gotten around to doing it yet. Eventually those cracks will start to peel off.

Good luck!
