Depends how bad you did the wheel in. Dealerships usually have wheel repair guys that they can call in. I would also consider searching for one on google that's local. A repair will always be cheaper than a replacement.

I had mine powder coated after curbing a front wheel. There are company's that will come to your house and fix it. Id recommend alloy wheel in carnegie. If you want to replace it I have one front in perfect condition for sale if thats what you need. It's midnight silver.

Was that you at Jeff's? I thought I recognized the car. Busy day today and wasn't paying attention until I was walking out.

My rear is actually worth something not in pieces to help offset the cost of a 12 bolt -- that's the ONLY reason I'm trying to keep it in tact
It's also easier to sell my wife on it: "I'll make money on this rear swap, Jen!" ![]() But hey, if it busts, you can be damn sure it will be time to upgrade!
