Default 19in TRD Racing Hart wheel help

All,

I'm a longtime member thats been gone for a while, and recently I came into quite an issue and need some help.

I have an 05 XB that was purchased with the TRD 19in Racing Hart 5 spoke rims. Well, just the other day I was rolling on the Pirelli Pzeros and one of them decides that its had enough and doesnt want to continue life as a tyre any more. Long story short, I had a blowout and pulled the rim off. I grabbed a brand new set of Falken 452s (my tyres had greater than 42k on them and needed replacing) to throw on (215/35/RZ19), and when I went to mount the new tyre I noticed the rim had cracked. Slight crack on the lip. I went to toyota and was informed that wheels arent warrantied, id just have to buy a new one from TRD.

Now here's the rub: TRD discontinued the wheel. They refferd me to DAZ motorsports, who claims the wheel is discontinued as well. So, anyone out there know where I can find one of these wheels..heh...I really don't want to buy a new set just to replace one busted wheel.

Picture of the wheel (not mine, but a ref):


Specs:
TRD Racing Hart 19in
19 x 7.5

I had the same problem, but I broke 3 rims. The 19" Racing Hart GT5's are hard to find. I claimed it on my insurance and bought something else.

Here's a site for you.

Are the centre caps removeable?

Yes, you just need an Allen(sp?) Wrench

That won't work, they don't match exactly....
