Title: Need a replacement rim for Diablo
Post by: Lambolegend on May 04, 2020, 12:53:58 PM: Hi guys,
Had an unfortunate incident whereas one of my rear rims broke.
The garage I had to bring it to, says it's not repairable. Anyone know where I could find a replacement n Canada or delivered to Canada?
Thanks for any help.

You will also need to know your bolt pattern as well. Is your replica Fiero based or NAERC Chaise based.Another words are your Rims 5x100 (Fiero) or 5x112 (Lamborghini) or 5x4.75 (5x4.75 or 5x120) This is Corvette. I might have a spare somewhere, I will check when I go to my where-house.
I would contact Ron from Ron's Toy store. He is a good friend and very reliable and trustworthy, He is in Vancouver, CA

I have been in contact with Ron, he actually has one listed on eBay. We are just trying to determine if it's the right one. It is fiero based.

Post by: Lambolegend on May 05, 2020, 11:49:13 AM: Well some more bad luck.
Ron's rim is 5x120mm and I would need 5X100mm. He suggesting perhaps a wheel adapter if I can't find another wheel. Let me know please.
