Need 993 solid spoke turbo twist rear wheel

While doing some poking around under my car the other night, Adam (#115) spotted a crack in my left rear wheel. So now I'm on the hunt for a rear 993 10" solid spoke wheel. Anyone have an idea of where to find one? I'm already scouring Rennlist and will call Wheel Enhancement, possibly LA Dismantlers. I guess Pelican and 6speed are also sources... Any local source or any 993'er with spares in their garage?

Worst case, I can buy a new one.
Worst, worst case I'm hunting for 4-MY02 rims and the spacers for the rears.....

Thanks!
Keith

4est,
I need a solid spoke (C4S came with "Turbo-look" solid spoke wheels, not the hollows). Now if you had a whole set of 993 hollows.... Or if someone has a set of MY02s! :D slippery slope....

I do have a whole set of hollows, plus one spare rear. They are bent a bit and need to be straightened; I never did it because they balance and don't show any adverse characteristics (wobble, thumping sound...nothing) at track speeds up to 135 mph. I also didn't want to have them straightened because they are powdercoated midnite blue and I didn't want to re-do that. If you want them, let's talk...

4est,
Not really up for the blue, sorry.

I've got a lead on some 993 turbo hollows in the original silver, so I might be ok after all..... UPGRADE! :rockon: But, spending more money.... :banghead:

(Of course still hunting for a rear solid spoke 10x18ET40 993.362.140.03 to make my original set complete again.)
