I was on the fwy this morning (57) on my way to work, when I am forced to swerve to avoid a 4" x 4" block of wood in the lane (taking care not to side-swipe the car to the right of me)

Well as you may have guessed, I hit the block at about 75/80mph, and this is the aftermath:





Is this worth looking into to getting fixed, or should I just buy a used OEM rim?

 

go for the used, You can find them on here pretty cheap
sorry that happen yo

 

ouch! i've done that before in my old car. i had to get a new rim. i was so mad.

 

check ppc, someones always selling stock rims.

 

looks pretty rough- how's it ride?

 

geez! atleast you didnt wreck man...

 

ouch! yeah might as well just go used....they are cheap!

 

Or you can use this as an excuse to get a whole new set of rims...

Not that I'm trying to encourage you or anything.

 

I actually don't sense any change in the ride. I got home and checked the pressure and it's at 30 (other tires are at 33) so it looks like it's losing air slowly, but somewhat holds.

I thought about just getting a whole new set of rims, but what's the point... All tires still have like 80% + of tread left, plus I don't mind the stock look on these cars. Not to mention, I will probably sell my tC by the end of this year.

I'll check out the Classifieds. Thanks guys

 

dang! I hit a big pot hole on the edge of the asphalt and f'd up one of my stealies like that b4 getting rims

 

wood-1
you-0

 

Wow...i feel sorry.
