i don't think volk sells its barrels seperately, but maybe you can remove the barrels and have them trued and refinished by a good repair shop. Some of the work those guys do is amazing. Worth a shot before scrapping a good set of wheels

mackin doesnt sell barrels...

any wheel shop can fix but remember their clearcoated so theyll have to take it down to bare metal and then fix.

I got run off the road and lost control. I went from one side to the other and 2 wheels got really bad bends and the 3rd was curbed 360 degrees so bad that you can peel the metal off. I am sure that 1 of the 3 can be repaired but the other 2 would be close to impossible. You are right though, I should check anyway since I am not the expert.

thanks for the info!!

high end 3 piece wheel producers (fikse, kinesis and etc) will sell barrels, but will ask you to bring in the wheels for repair and upgrade to your liking.

rays do not repair wheels nor sell the barrels separately, so you are out of luck.

I looked at them again and they really were not THAT bad. I think there is a shot at fixing them. My insurance is cutting me a check for new wheels and tires. They said I could buy the busted ones and try to fix them. I am gonna see if I can get them for a 100 bucks. One of the 19x10.5 wheels is still good so that would be worth it alone.

Volk will sell you seperate barrells. My friend who has the GT-7's on his GS300 ordered two rear barrells to have a 10.5 with a 5 inch lip. I will post pics later on to show you the difference. You will have to have a local wheel distributor call and place the order.

interesting!

how much did the barrels cost? how long did the barrels take to arrive?

if that's the case, then volk owners will be VERY PLEASED.
