Does any one out there have a front mag/alloy wheel to suit my R80RT Bmw?
I need one fairly quickly, as the bike is used regularly, and there are Rallies on that I plan to attend. Mine has a couple of flat spots around the rim caused bt a minor accident over a year ago , and when I had a new tyre fitted, the tyre fitter placed the wheel incorrectly in the bead breaker , and the jaws of the chuck distorted the wheel, giving it a 6mm buckle.

Forgot to mention that the BMW R80 is a 1987 model........Cheers.

Thanks everybody, have found a wheel. Kane from R TWIN WORKS @ Palmerston North was extremely helpful. Any BMW parts needed, contact him at www.rtwinworks.co.nz, or a/h 06 354 6896 or mobile 037 266 5335.
Don't forget the Woodstock Rally @ Hokitika this weekend, and the Vincent County is on down Alexandra the weekend after. See you there. I'll be on an old iridescent blue R80RT , minus the fairing, and an aftermarket windscreen.
