Zauber Gettin wheels... what do I do???
I have a set of Zauber Gettins. I bent one of them beyond the ability to repair it. Since Arrow Enterprises (Zauber makers) are out of business, anyone have a clue where I might be able to get the lip portion of the wheel? I believe the lip portion is called the barrel. The spokes are fine, it's just the outer lip that's messed up.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

If you do own a set of these wheels and you know it's not a true 3pc then kindly let MSBoy know that it's impossible to switch out the lip.

also, it seems like they (kodiak) only do the lip section which would be useless unless the zauber gettins lip is a seperate piece from the rest of the wheel. even if it isnt, its worth it to see if kodiak can do the whole barrel.

I did check out the PDF (from the site) and they do make the inner and out part of the barrel.

This means if he has 19" Zaubers, he could use the Kodiak barrels, but the wheels would become 20" diameter due to the 'step' in the rim.
I just looked again, it appears their stuff stops at 18" diameter anyway. Dead end.
The Japanese wheel manufacturers are strange about this; you cannot purchase replacement rim sections for their multi-piece wheels. To me, being able to replace damaged or curbed rim pieces is one of the main reasons I would buy a modular wheel. But the Japanese manufacturers don't support this.
You have two options:
1) Search for a used replacement wheel on eBay or random forums
2) Call a shop like D2-Autosport and get new wheels.

The only problem I see with using the Kodiak stuff is that is is a 'stepped' lip, whereas the Zaubers are 'reverse' (flat) lip.
This means if he has 19" Zaubers, he could use the Kodiak barrels, but the wheels would become 20" diameter due to the 'step' in the rim.

Wow! I've been doing so much research on this topic and only remembered today that I posted this on CL. Thing is, you guys are the only ones who came up with so much info! Thanks for all your help!!
So, I went to Kodiak's website and got the .pdf for wheel shells. Based on what you all are saying, Kodiak will only do a step format??? Why do you say that? I am looking at the .pdf right now and I have to fill in some info that I am not too sure about. Can you all help with this? Here are the questions:
1. Number of mounting bolts and on what bolt circle radius
2. Center bore cut out size
3. Outside Diameter of wheel center
4. Mounting bolt hole diameter
6. Wheel shell diameter
7. Inner wheel shell width
8. Outer wheel shell width
The bent wheel is a 19x8.5.
Thanks for any help.
