Default One 20" Chrome Dronell CA-05 Needed

Hey Guys,

I have a set of 20" Dronell CA-05 on my GS400. A tire shop scratched my wheel while putting on the tire. Anybody know where I can order just one rim. I know they don't make them any more so It's getting really hard to find. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks in advanced guys!

I can't believe no ones made a knock off of this wheel yet.

Can't you just get the wheel repaired/redipped at their expense?

Sorry I'm of no help

Welcome to my world!! Good luck finding a wheel man, I scratched mine last year and still cant find a replacement! One thing, if you get the wheel re-chromed and repaired, then you have to re-chrome all of the wheels, because those wheels are not usa chrome! so if you fix one, it wont match the others!

Just a heads up! If you find one lemmeknow, i need 35offset

I feel for you guys a scratch on a wheel would bother me for ever, so that's why I only buy polished.....

Not sure about the polish on all wheels but I know that the Zauber Gettins scratch very easily..

Default thanks!

Thanks guys for all your support...

It's not just a scratch... Its a gouge in the lip about 1/4 inch deep and about the size of a dime and a scratch... Don't know how they did it but its pretty ugly...ARGGG! IF it was just a scratch I wouldn't mind.. .but they were perfect before I took it to the shop...

Oh well my quest goes on! DRONELL CA-05 (chanting)...

Thanks guys!

That sux. Sorry bro. Keep searching though. There has to be a few of those out there somewhere! But I looked at the prices for those Dronies and those babies are inexpensive!! Possibly people just bought them all up!

By the way, Darkside Motoring is a really good spot! When I was shopping for some Lowey BR-5s some time back, the guys there took real good care of me and shot me the best price I could find at that time. Real cool surfer-like dudes!! I have no affiliation with them whatsoever... just thought I'd show them a little love since they took such good care of me!

Yeah, when the company went out of business lots of places lowered their prices to get rid of them! I just got mine last summer, I looked all over NY and they were the only ones I could find especially in chrome! I didnt get them dirt cheap, but I felt that 2700 was worth it, since the cheap, cheesy wheels were 2500 , LOL
