So which side of it did you bend? You know that they are easily fixable or if it's only on one side you can always purchase half rim.

I think those are Epsilons. There some people on Ebay importing JDM wheels here, maybe they can help you out.

you can get that fixed. I don't know how much it would cost in the states though. I paid 120.00 bucks in Japan to get mine fixed when I curb my rim while drifting. I'd guess it would be cheaper in the states

good man
3 piece wheels are cool like that, just have to see who out there offers 15" 3 piece wheels.
i'd like to say goto wheelspecs.com to get all your answers, but we're still working on the site. we have some listed, but they arent easily searchable by types of wheels YET, but we're workin on it
off the top of my head check with simmons (mainly cause ajc13b had em :P):
http://www.simmonswheel.com.au/
compomotive:
http://www.comp.co.uk/products/motorsport.htm
panasport maybe:
http://www.panasport.com/


really there are tons more that make 15"ers, im just a guy that looks at wheels entirely too much. shoot those guys emails, if they dont have it they should know who to get in touch with

good luck
gamble

those are Epsilons not bbs wheels. the bent half can be fixed, they are spun alum. there are many places that do it. If you find some place to buy rim halfs for them or if any one knows I would be intersted to know where. I had one of mine stold. I found a replacement on on ebay from one of those importers and when it arived it was 1 1/2 inches too narrow on the outer half. I guess they cant measure. at lease the bolt patern was right.
