Hello I am looking for a single 17X11 36MM OEM A Mold. I need a solid wheel with no rash but paint is not an issue as its for a polishing project. One wheel I currently have for this project I was just notified is currently unrepairable due to some unseen damage. Im in the middle of the project and at this point need a decent wheel. Thanks GC

What's "non-repairable"? Just curious!
About the only two conditions that aren't considered repairable is a bent wheel and if there's damage on the mating surface or oblonged holes on the mounting area for the wheel nuts most quality restoration facilities won't touch them. If there's a severe fracture or stress on the tire sealing area I guess you could consider that a third but there's shops that will and say it's an accepted repair. Yes/no? I don't know! Not mine!
Another thing a "quality" shop will do is request all four wheels of a set so that when the "curb-rash" is repaired all four wheel flanges will be "matched"!
