R1150GSA Wheels

[bigbaz]

I have a pair of R1150GSA wheels which have flatspots on the rims!!!
The hubs and spokes are as new. What I would like is to build or have built new rims onto my existing hubs. However, I've priced genuine beemer parts, and second hand wheels in this case would be a better (substantially cheaper) option.
a) Does anybody know of any supplier that may have suitable rims?
b) Could they or anybody else, build them onto my hubs?

Seems a pity to have two lovely shiney hubs and no actual use for them!
Thanks for any help/advice

Every buckled, bent, crashed wheel has perfect hubs.

It's the rims everyone wants

But by the time you've factored in the cost of having them relaced it's cheaper getting secondhand wheels.

Oh now there's a thing!

Imagine that!

Everyone wants rims!

Pehaps that's why I was asking the question if anybody knew if such items could be obtained!

I was in search of proper information, not advise to get second hand wheels, which if you had read my thread, you would see I had already factored!!!

Thanks again!

Sorry to be abrupy earlier Steptoe, its just that I was hoping to find a way out of what seems a horrendously expensive situation.

I had one of those Michael Douglas "Falling Down" days!!!

Anyway, hope you're not huffing with me?

Does anybody want to buy a pair of GSA hubs in excellent condition?
(Spokes and Flat Spotted Rims thrown in!) (Didn't think so!)
