    Looking for help with replacement for cracked rim

    Hi, my beautiful CC has cracked a rim after a drive in the country. I'm looking for suggestions for replacement wheels, or even better, a matching replacement. I'm not sure what I currently have. They look aftermarket?
    19 inch.

    Take some photos of the back side of the rim/spokes. If they are OEM wheels there will be a part number there (e.g. 4f0 071 299 666).

    Thanks everyone.

    It is beyond repair sadly.

    I have found these numbers inside the rim but I'm not sure what they mean:

    19x8j

    95194

    19x8j means it's 19" rim and 8" width

    Not sure what the other markings are for. OEM rims will have the full model code cast into the wheel on one of the spokes.

    It could be that the rims you have are aftermarket (which may also explain why this one cracked).

    Thanks - that might explain it.

    I'll look around for a suitable set of replacements.

    On a CC I'd be looking at 19x8-8.5 and offsets around 40. You don't want Golf wheels as they sit too far in-board.

    If your tyres are nearing replacement you could look to go for a set of 20" wheels and get the lot done at once (will work out cheaper as it'll be $120 just to swap the tyres over from the old wheels).
