Konig Prophet Wheel needed

Ok, so Ive got a set of 18x8 Konig Prophet rims. A month ago I was making a U-turn and somehow my ball joint popped, cv axle broke and the arm broke. Boy was I hot, but long story short, I need to find one rim. During the accident My rim got bent, probably that damn tow truck driver. If anyone knows where I can get this discontinued rim please let me know. The exact size is 18x8 and the lug nuts 5x114.3. I can find 18x8 in 5x100 and 5x120 but not what I need. {Please help}

how bad is the rim bent. if its not too bad a good rim shop can probably fix it. Did you talk to the warranty department at Konig. They have not been discontinued too long so im sure there are some out there

YEah i called them a week ago and they said that they don't have any in their warehouse. I asked them if they knew anyone that might be able to help me out. they gave me a number to a distributor and they didn't have any either. I feel like im screwed. I don't trust master fabricaters to fix my rim and the rim guy I know only fixes dings and scratches not bent rims

When i was still in the SHOW scene i bent my rims all the freaking time. If you have someone that is willing to fix it then let them do it. at this point you have nothing to lose since you cannot use it. Ok so you might be out a little money but if they fix it then you are good.

I wasn't trying to be an asshole, I was just giving an opinion. If they don't produce them anymore, and they aren't fixable, thats a valid suggestion.

Have you tried ebay or craigslist to maybe find 1 or a couple used?
