Used wheel source?

[Jake]

Hi - I've got the mag wheels on my 750/7 - and was told by the PO that the rear one is cracked. Does anyone know if this can be repaired or, if not, a source for used ones? thanks

Not sure you can fix a cracked rim...or would want to ride on one.

As for used parts, Mickey at Martindale Motorworks has taken over Airhead Salvage. Check with him:

There are a few other used part places such as:

I think Bob's BMW does too - http://www.bobsbmw.com

Are these the BMW snowflake rims? FYI...there was a recall on the front rims only. Rims made before about September 1982 are subject to recall for possible cracking. BMW will replace the rim at no cost. Depending on the dealer, you may need to bring the bike and to verify VIN and that no recall has already been posted for that bike. Info on the recall:
