Very rare these days Cliffo. Sadly.

Last I heard Irmscher only had one left, that was over a year ago now.

If you cant find a good one, there are repairers that can refurb all sorts of damage, or ones that can rebuild from a new lump of alloy :o

Failing a repair or sourcing the correct one you could always use the ET38 with 8mm spacer as i have done. I bought my from robseymv6 he told me it was ET30 but when i arrived to pick it up it was ET38 works and looks fine cant even see the spacer, had to use longer bolts with normal locking nut. just keep original bolts in the car incase you have a puncture. I have a spare spacer if you want it as i had to buy 4 and only wanted 1.  :y

Thanks Chaps for your concerns :y :y
I finally realized I'm going to have to go for a repair
So I took it to my local "The Wheel Specialist" he assured me the damage will fill/weld
About 3" of rim is completely gone
Says it will cost about 90.00
I don't think that's too bad specially as he did say he was confident the  repair would be OK
I'll let you know how it goes
