Techart Formula Rear wheel
Gang
One of mine cracked last night. The previous owner had not told me these were repaired in several locations and one of the repairs cracked. This also cause a spoke to crack. The wheel is a loss.
Anyone have a single 19in 25 offset TA formula laying around? Yeah I know, big request.
I have contacted the previous owner to discuss this with him but he has not written back.
TIA

buyer beware, Tim. really those wheels are ugly
so now is your chance to get new ones
Seriously bro that sucks, I have a spare set of turbo twists with tires if you need to run wheels while you get that repaired or replaced.

Thanks Dennis
I have my SSR's too for now.
Want to sell those and get a set of RUF 5 spokes
I am just glad the crack did not happen at speed considering the spoke cracked to

yeah, that is a pretty dangerous situation. I think you can get Ruf to replace it if they still make that specific model. Hence the reason why I went with Forged 1 piece.

Tim,
I know of a local shop here that can work magic on damaged wheels. It might be worth a shot. For example, I had a set of 19" Koenig WRV's that had corrosion in the bolts and chips in the silver-painted face and curb rashes on every wheel. I left it at the shop for about 1.5 weeks and this is the before and after
I can't imagine them charging you more than $300-400 to fix that wheel

You need to contact Eli at Fast Forward Wheels. If you do a search, his name will pop up. He collects TA wheels and sold me a rear after mine got curbed. He is in Alhambra, CA.

No, they'd have owned the shop that did a crappy repair on the Techart wheel...
Most repair shops will not touch a wheel with a broken spoke or even a break in the barrel NEAR a spoke.... for sure I'd never drive on one.

Ditto... I would contact him. I sold him a full set of Techart's plus an extra a while back, he should have something for you.
