Wheel repair needed.

I have a set of OZ Moda II wheels (17x8 and 17x10.5 rear). They appear to be modular two peice wheels, they came on my car when I bought it. I put my stock wheels on for the winter.

They Look great, but the rims are heavily damaged (last guy put some dents and nicks in the rims and they look horrible). Would it be possible to replace the rim and not the inner part if they are in fact modular?

Another question: Would it be possible to switch from a 10.5 inch rim down to an 8 on the rear wheels?

Thanks in advance
-Mike

This is my exact wheel... it's called a "Mito" but i've also heard it called moda. I've seen alot of the same wheels that look very close to this made by OZ. The other peice IS modular according to this...
Can I replace the outer rim?

look in the advertising in the car magazines ,for wheel repair ads, then call a few. Ask them your questions and price for repairs. The wheel works in Calif. has good turnaround times.

I can HIGHLY recommend Truwheel -

http://www.truwheel.com

I had a GAB rim that hadn't been made in years with a torn lip and some serious scuffing. It was also painted white. Sent it to them and it's good as new - you literally can't tell it from brand new!

The price was reasonable - can't remember the total, but it was really fair. Hell, they even sent me a Christmas card!
