I messed up and I need R3V's help to make it right

[varg]

I have scoured every corner of CL and used a variety of what I thought were clever searches (BBS RS Rep, BBS RS Replica, E30 16x7.5, 4x100 16x7.5, etc...).

Thanks for the effort.

I have a good record on craigslist scavenger hunts so I figured I would give it a try. Searchtempest, search modifiers, etc. I can usually find pretty much anything, no dice on 16x7.5 002s though, found pretty much every size but that.

Saturday night bump. Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

[Joe G]

That sucks.

I looked on craigslist and didn't see anything, and I searched the entire country. Not a common size for that wheel, 16x7.5.

THANK YOU for taking the time to look. Things are looking grim for just finding one wheel... :(

Unfortunately they SCRAPPED all the remaining ESM 002s about a year ago.

td325ic,

Thanks man, I appreciate VERY much you taking some time to help look for the wheels! The set at 12tune.com looks exactly like the wheels I have. The center caps on the performancealloys site are different than the ones I have.

Unfortunately, I am almost positive that the wheels are ET15. I will try to double check that, but I am afraid the search continues...

[td325ic]

While I dont know for certain, I believe ESM 002 wheels are branded as Lenso BSX in Europe.

Searching Lenso BSX 16x7.5 on google came up with a few european stores that carry them.

http://www.performancealloys.com/ has them for $234 delivered to US for single wheel

http://shop.12tune.com/ shows them in stock

No affiliation with those stores. Those were just some that came up in my search

Also in your original post you say the wheel is ET15, are you sure they aren't ET25? And if you buy a new wheel I think it is going to come dual drilled, 4x100/4x108

Have you tried contacting ESM directly and asking them if they still have one in their warehouse, or could help you track one down? I've heard quite a few stories of companies really helping out in situations like this one.

Make sure you actually call them, though, as e-mail is far too impersonal and isn't as likely to get you results.

I emailed them and they called me back. Unfortunately they SCRAPPED all the remaining ESM 002s about a year ago. I was at work and didn't really have time to chat more extensively but I will give them a call back and see if they can assist me in tracking one down.

Again, my offer stands. Find me a wheel get a finders fee in the form of a Joe G care package.

what? :giggle:

Finding one is going to be VERY hard, have you called Ary and asked if he can get you one?

If not just grab a pair of 16x8 et20 and call it a day.

Laugh it up, our ESM's have taken multiple wheel-wheel hits and are still straight and true. Can't beat the price for the size we need.

Already tried. They no longer have them in stock. I have emailed at least a dozen ESM wheel dealers. So far no luck. I really don't want to have to spend an extra $165 on a second 16x8. :(

Give his place a call and see if they can help.

My bad, I read the first post then commented.

I approve of the C1s

[Mr. Tasty]

I have a set of TRM C1s for actual track driving. The only time these have seen the track is last year when it rained and I had R Comps on my track wheels.
