Need Help Finding a Wheel

[BLACK'98DSM]

I'm usually very good at finding the parts I need online. But this one is a tough one to find since they are no longer in production. I've been trying to find this wheel since December. I've ordered from 2 different places that said they had it in stock, only to tell me after I ordered that they didn't.

The wheel I'm trying to find is a Konig Incident Graphite 16x7 5x114.3 +40 offset. If anyone finds somehwere that looks like they might have one in stock, let me know and I'll call them to verify. Most places advertise them as being in stock and even sometimes when I call they still say they have one, but they really don't.

I appreciate any help finding this. I lost traction with the rear end of the car cornering at 60mph and the wheel slammed a small curb and warped it.

CarID says they have 12, but they don't have any. Vivid Racing says they have 5, but they also don't have any. Worst case scenario I place the order directly through KONIG and they forge me a wheel in Germany. I'm trying to avoid that though if possible.

You sure Konig is no longer making these? Konig's website show them as still being current. Konig Incident

according to this site
there is a 4-8 WEEK NATIONAL BACKORDER
on them.
most of the online places just take orders and the manufacturer direct ships the rims

this is direct from konig, 0 available, 108 in production

The only reason I said they were no longer in production is because that's what the guy at Vivid Racing told me. But they are clueless about everything.

I guess I'll have to wait an additional 1-2 months for it. Lol

Here we are 74 days after I ordered one, I received a call saying "dude I dunno where you wheel is man, I thought it was coming but maybe not... anyway I sent you a refund, so yea whatever..."

Trying to get this wheel has been an absolute nightmare!

Have you taken your rim to a specialty shop to see if it can be repaired ?

Yes, unfortunately it's badly out of round. And the curb rash is deep.

The car is not my daily driver so there's no rush at all, but if I remember correctly I've been trying to order this wheel since 2020 with no luck. I just wish I could simply ordered a new wheel and be done with it.

I had 6 rays engineering 19” wheels fixed. 3 of them were out of round and most of them had curb rash. The gentleman’s handle on insta is chamorroboy86. He does amazing work. But don’t use his powder coat guy if you are picky/ocd like me. I had to take them to my guy and get the powder coat re done. Send him a DM on Instagram.

This was some of the damage he repaired on them.

I appreciate the reference. But uh... I don't think you understand the extent of the damage . It would need alot of material welded back on and then turned on a lathe or CNC machine, assuming they could straighten it out enough to be usable again. I would like to post a picture but the car is at my shop right now for the winter and I haven't been up there in a while. I'm honestly surprised the tire is still holding air. I have a few other sets of wheels with the same lug pattern so I can swap those on to get the car in motion when the time comes. I've just grown attached to these Konig wheels and would like to have a set of 4 in great shape

Basically all 4 of my original wheels are badly dented and probably beyond safe repair, but I'm loath to replace them since I really like their look and finding identical ones in good shape is probably either near impossible or very expensive. I haven't done many highway miles lately so it's tolerable at lower speeds, but once I get it much beyond 50mph I can feel the vibrations. One of the tires even has a very slow leak because of a dent.

Anyway, this doesn't help you at all, except to say that I'm in the same boat and sooner or later will have to deal with it. I'll see if they can be safely repaired though first, and for a price that makes sense. If they can then I'll probably refinish and paint them myself. I'm not looking for showroom finish.
