I have all silver wheels - they need polishing, as the clear coat is flaking in many different places.

The wheels on the car have konig caps and appear to look like 2 piece wheels, but they could be easily designed to appear like a fake 2 piece wheel.

However it seems Konig now only has a black rim with polished center

Looking for the wheels I found this: ASA AR1

To my eye this looks like the same wheel all silver, I am not a wheel person and only need to replace the damaged wheel. This is a gravity poured casting, and not the strongest wheel in my opinion.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

I will take several photos in the morning, and post.

Seem neither wheel is correct looking closer. Maybe the wheels I have are no longer available. Are there any good used wheel companies i can order a replacement from?

Most folks on this forum are xB Gen 2 and so you won't get much traffic from the xB Gen 1 folks. The wheels are different from Gen 1 to Gen 2. Different bolt pattern and different diameter.

BrickPig, understand most members have moved to the newer xB model. But I am certain there is still a vast amount of knowledge of the Gen 1 in this website that should be available.

Yep, I know 4 bolt and 5 bolt wheels are quite different. But the general question of where to find a safe used match for my bent wheel should not be a Gen 1, Gen 2 answer. Is it safe to have a wheel repaired?
