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?

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
