Need a New/used Rim

[supercub]

Bent a rim on my 03 Southwind 32V today. Right rear outboard......so I need another one to replace it...........19.5" any idea where I can find one. I'm on the central coast of Oregon and will be traveling towards Portland Oregon in the next few days. Thanks

I am not sure I'd wish to do this with an RV but there are places that repair bent rims too.. Usually less expensive.. I've used 'em on my daughter's mag-alum alloy rims when she did major damage

New rim $400
Used $200
Repaired <$100

Now on a Grand Am.. 27psi, it's one thing.. On an RV pushing 100 PSI,... I'm not so sure

Driver gave a very good source

Most RV dealers either stock 'em or can get 'em. but you might get a better deal from the place Driver mentioned, epically if you mention where you got the reference

Thanks Driver, I was going to do that, since I'm headed that way in a couple of days.......Just talked to Mike and he's checking on the price of a new one.........wish I could find a used one somewhere........but thanks for the info.

Correct if I am wrong but doesn't your Southwind have a mounted spare? Wouldn't that take care of your initial problem and give you the time to find a decent used rim to use as your new spare.

Luckily the 32V does have a spare, and I put it to good use. Called Mike at Brazel's this morning, and he will have one for me on Wednesday.....about $280.00. I did hammer out the chrome wheel liner and got it looking not to bad......considering I only had a hammer and concrete sidewalk to work with. I would think the rim could be straightened too, but not worth it in my opinion. Thanks for all the help.
