Default Wheel identification

Hi,

My rear passenger wheel is leaking air quite a bit. I took it off an it seems to have cracked at some point and been repaired so I'm thinking of replacing it. Does anyone know what model they are so I can start looking? They're on a 2008 M6 with the 3LT trim and Z51 package. I've not been able to find one that looks the same.

You might find one on Ebay. I have actually had good luck with used parts there. Good luck!

Have you ruled out anything to do with the valve stem?

I pulled the tire off and used the soapy water spray trick. It's definitely leaking at the bead right where there's crack that was fixed. Coincidence? I doubt it.

I did find some similar wheels but they're either gunmetal or silver. Mine looks more chrome or polished to me.

https://www.originalwheels.com/chevr...te2008rims.php
Wheel Part Number: 5343 REAR (silver) or 5345 REAR (gunmetal).

Is the wheel part number stamped on the rim somewhere?

I may take it to a shop and see if it's fixable. It didn't start leaking until recently and has been slowly getting worse.

Here is the wheel page from the 2008 Corvette catalog.

I would contact Bob @HOUSEOFWHEELS Maybe he can locate a wheel for you.
