I need help ID'ing this wheel to order a replacement
i have no idea what brand or style wheel it is. all i know is that its a 1 piece casting and just the general sizing. it says its made in Taiwan, 690kg weight rating, cast in 5/97... i think. there is something else cast on the inside, "ET42". i thought it might be the style of the wheel but maybe its just the offset?
this is why i need another wheel.

Since they were made over 10 years ago you'll have a really hard time finding a replacement, because the smart money's on it being discontinued many years ago. ET42 means that it's a +42mm offset.
Wheels are a wear item when used hard. Aluminum is subject to fatigue (it gets weaker over time and eventually cracks). Unless that's from accident damage, which since the wheel's not bent it doesn't look like it, all your other wheels are likely to follow along some time soon.
Get a new set of wheels.

"MADE IN TAIWAN" - that's a good sign to throw away that crap and get some better quality wheels!
What's with all these crap wheels popping up now???

I *doubt* these things are officially "JWL" certified...
*sigh*
Hell, even a cheapie set of Sportmax's should hold up better!
