Default Wanted: 1 "hyper silver" Linea Corse Veneto front wheel (19x8.5")

A couple of years ago one of my front LC Veneto wheels cracked all the way through a spoke. That wheel went to the scrap metal recycler, and ever since the other 3 wheels have been sitting in the basement. I love the way the Venetos look on the car, so it would be nice to have a complete set again.



I tried getting one from wheeldude.com, but after they jerked me around I figured out I was never getting one from them.

Anyone got a spare front Veneto wheel sitting around?

I had Linea Corse LC855 wheels. They became riddled with cracks and where completely beyond repair. Very low quality wheels unfortunately. I had a similarly frustrating experience with wheeldude as well.

Thanks, I'll shoot them a message to see if they can source a front one.

I have a complete set of four. They need a repaint, but they're structurally sound.

No worries. I sent the Ebay vendor a note, they do have some of the 8.5" ones, but only in hyper black. They want $330 for one of those. I suppose I could get the wheel repainted, but I don't know how well it would match. I suppose I could get 1 rear wheel refinished at the same time, so at least the two wheels on each side of the car would match. But I'm not sure I want to spend that much on this. I've already got another set of 19" summer wheels; I don't really need these Venetos, but I do think they look fantastic on the car, so it would be nice to be able to throw them on.

Want to sell me just a front, so you can then be stuck in the same situation I'm in now?

Why not get two silver 9.5 and make it a staggered setup?

I don't know how well the 9.5" +47 would fit up front. Doing the math, they've got almost 3/4" more backspacing than the 8.5" +42 fronts. I don't know if there's room for that.

I had a staggered set before - 8.5" in front and 10" in back. I now only have 1 8.5" wheel, which is why I started this thread, to get another 8.5" wheel.
