-Looks like a discontinued wheel from BBS, i guess your best luck is getting it repaired. I hope it helps.

This is a BBS model "RF"

Tire Rack charged $269 for a 17" rim back in September '94

have them welded and machined and they will be fine. Lot's of polishing ahead ;-)

Look for info on the German website.
www.bbs-ag.de

and try to ask them about getting the rims seperately. I'm quite sure you"ll get a positive answer

Maybe you can check this guy out in Germany. He does some really good polish (not Polish) work on BBS wheels and pretty much all are multipiece

Just look under "Felgenzubehör", there are all wheels divided in their separate parts.
He should understand English when you contact him. If not, just send me your mail in English and I'll translate it into German. No prob
