Default Help please!!

Hey guys, I need your help. I bought my 05 Goat brand new from the dealership with only 23 test miles on it when I was 17. When I bought the car it came with dealership installed 18x8 chrome 10-spoke wheels they claim were made by SLP, a $2200 option. I'm 25 now and I recent noticed some cracks in the spokes on my rims. I love the wheels and cannot imagine having to change them. I have scoured the internet looking for these rims, I found one picture of them after countless hours of searching. Of course I cannot remember what they are called and haven't been able to find a single set to purchase. Can anyone please help me find a set of these rims for sale or at least point me in the right direction to find them, maybe tell me what they are called?

I can honestly say I haven't seen those before, but I can definitely see why you like them! I'll keep an eye out.

They are the MC2 wheels. Honestly, if they are starting to crack, I wouldn't be looking to replace them with them same wheels. I doubt that they are still in production so if you end up finding a set, they'll be 6 years old and prone to the same cracking, IMHO.

I don't know much about wheels, but if he'd liked them enough, couldn't he get them repaired? Welded then re-chromed? Or is that not possible?

Do yourself a favor and get a new set of actual GM Holden/HSV wheels, like those available on jhp.com.au

I would not attempt to repair cracked spokes. The wheel is done at that point.
