Cracked 16" SS rim, where do i find replacement?

Last night a pothole cracked my rim and a lot more with it . The rest are GM parts but where do i find a replacement for my rim? It's a 16" SS rim (only put on convertibles) color grey (don't know the exact word for the color).

If any of you knows where i can find 1 or 2 of these would be great, if not maybe you know someone who's selling a whole set of used 17" SS/ZR1 type wheels second hand, i can't afford new ones.

Thanks

You might try giving SLP a call. They might be able to direct you. As far as 17's are concerned, they are everywhere. Look on ebay, I'm looking to get 11's for the back of my SS. They have sets for (4) 17x9.5 and sets with (2) 17x9.5 & (2) 17x11 for around $500.00. They are in Sarasota, FL

Called SLP and they're long discontinued, and i haven't seen 16" on sale anywhere... As for 17" it's true they are on many sites including ebay, but i was hoping i could get out of this cheaper, with 1 rim only... Hope something pops up soon. Ty for advice tho!

They only list the wheel in chrome but if you give them a call they may be able to get you a painted set.

No problem, just remember that p/n listed is for a chrome wheel.

I see them alot on ebay as well, but that is for a set of 4. If you are looking for just a single rim, Jegs is probably your best option then.

Yes, i'm looking for only 1. If i have to buy 4 i'll get 17"s... Seems i may have a shot at fixing mine tho, i'll give it a try hope it works ... it's only bent on the side, no cracking or anything, i'll try to get the lip back to place

If not, Jegs here i come... :P

I've got a set i dont want, but they have brand new goodyear eagle F1's on em. No curbs ever, I have 17x11" set of chromes i'm putting on. have to beat the hell out of my inner fenders and chop my bump stops to get them to fit. for what your going to pay to buy a set of factory 16" SS wheels, you might as well but 17"s or 18"s in the ZR1's. I've got over 600 alone in new tires for these wheels. I wont part them out. good luck
