Default 13" Rim for my F8 Spare Tire

I still have not been able to find a 13" split rim for my spare tire. Does anybody out there have any ideas where I could find one? Help!!!!!

Regards,
Jim

I got my C8 in 2003 and finally found a spare wheel in 2009. I guess they're kind of scarce but they do show up occasionally. If I stumble across another one I'll let you know.

David,
Thanks! I'd appreciate your heads-up if you find one. I've even called Dirk but he hasn't gotten back to me with a shipping cost. I'm hoping to find one here in North America as I suspect the cost to ship from the Netherlands will be prohibitive!

Regards,
Jim

Hi Jim, thanks for the reminder. The nice lady in the Dutch post office here in my village Broek op Langedijk, told me the rate about sending a 13" rim from Holland to Arizona, U.S.A. (104 euro).
To expensive I guess, very sorry for that.

Dirk

Dirk,
Thanks for getting back to me on that shipping cost. 104 Euro is a bit expensive but I'll keep it in mind if I get desperate! Thanks!

Regards,
Jim

Jim,

What about an exchange at Beltring? You don't happen to know anyone from the US who's going there and can pick up the rim at Dirk's stand? Just a thought, guys.

Alex

Alex,
Being out here in Arizona I hadn't given that possibility a thought but, I do know somebody here in my area that may be going over there. Will give him a call. Thanks for helping me extend my thought process!

Regards,
Jim
