I appreciate you looking it up for me. I've got the body shop my uncle works at doing the leg work as I dropped off the car this morning to get the door fixed. Also having them repaint the hood while they're at it

So they're gonna try and work a deal for me to get it around $225. But yea I never knew these crappy looking chrometeks were so expensive.

Hope those help out

AaronGTR · 01-14-2008, 08:18 PM

For the price of a new OEM wheel, you might as well just get all new aftermarket wheels. Upgrade FTW!

GrandAmGT1996 · 01-14-2008, 08:31 PM

^ Yeah, at first I was thinking just replaced the stocker but at that price...might as well find a decent set of used 16s till you get 18s

boost21 · 01-14-2008, 08:38 PM

Similar thing happened to someone here in milwaukee

for the record Chicago pot holes have claimed 2 18's of mine

Damn I wish I hadn't told the guy to get the rim already...

lone_wolf025 · 02-23-2008, 07:15 PM

So, I don't suppose anyone has a set of 4 steelies laying around? Just found out today that 3 out of 4 of my rims are dented from potholes, including the "newly" installed reconditioned one I got last month as well.

stewartfn18 · 02-23-2008, 08:17 PM

that's sucks. New rims ftw. Horray for my first post from an iPod touch.

Bryan · 02-23-2008, 08:42 PM

Yeah that definitely calls for some 18s.

Steelies for now...18s for the summer

Pics of the rims. (sorry for the huge size, I'm too lazy to redo them atm)

alerored04 · 02-23-2008, 10:58 PM

I have one that looks like that. It still holds air. It has been that way since i bought the car. I wish i had the cash for a new one.

lone_wolf025 · 02-23-2008, 11:01 PM

Right now, my primary concern is to see if any are cracked. I'd say the only one that is really something to worry about is that first one. Assuming none are cracked, I dunno what I'll do. Depends on how safe they are...

Bryan · 02-23-2008, 11:17 PM

Damn, your roads are kickin' your ass.

ramair4thesoul · 02-23-2008, 11:23 PM

My husbands body shop has a guy that can fix bent wheels or paint wheels, because insurance companies don't like paying the high amount for OEM replacemants. Why don't you see if your body shop guy has someone like that. I'm having to get one of my 18s fixed because they don't make them anymore and I can't find a replacement.

cardude007617 · 02-23-2008, 11:24 PM

jesus, those are pretty bad..... i know it sucks to say this, but i guess its an excuse to get aftermarket rims now? god that blows
