Cracked Rim

Left front tire has been loosing air. Thought I picked up a nail. Local tire shop tells me I have a cracked rim. Does anyone know if my front and rear rims are the same size? Trying to hunt down a rim online now, if anyone can point me in the right direction. Looking at this one: https://www.bentleyparts.net/wheels-rims/19-bentley-flying-spur-gt-gtc-chrome-rim-tire-wheel

Attached is my car. It is the front rim that needs replacing.

Hi Barry,

Where are you located?

Those look to be the factory 19s and should be the same on all four corners. Look at all four tire sizes.

Depending on how bad the crack is, you might be able to have it welded. Maybe save you a little coin. Something like a hairline. If it’s deep and long be safe and replace it. Did the shop give you an idea on how bad it might be?

They said it had a pretty good crack so I'm going to play it safe. Found this one on ebay and bought it... I'm hoping it is the same wheel! Once the old one is off I will see if it is repairable to keep as a spare.

Hi Barry,

I kinda figured by the background of your pic you weren't too near Arizona. I have 4 chrome 19s with practically new Pirelli P-Zeros that I am probably not going to use again. But this won't work given the distance.

I'd go the Ebay route too and not do a repair, if it were mine.

I'd check ebay for a refurbished one or a new set if you want they are quite cheap there.

I think that's not the same rim a the one on your car in the photo. This one looks to be the GTC rim.

I think you are correct. Close examination, they do not look the same. After a close look at my wheels, they too do not match Barry's wheels.

I think this looks more like his rim....Is your rim a one piece?



Try looking up one of these part numbers:

3W0601025H / 3W0601025J
