Default Guys my z is down...

Well guys i just had a litle accident on the freeway. I got stuck in the middle where the freeway divides and i had time to turn to the side but my right wheel hit the divider. Long story short i need a new wheel. Anybody here that has one please let me know asap. Am in Glendale,Ca. I call the dealer is F****** 610$ for one........
And am wondering if something like this could mess up ur suspension or anything else. I didnt notice anything yet.

2005 Enthusiast:17's: Any help appreciated!!

sorry to hear that and good thing that you're ok. Accidents are very bad for the cars. It can mean eternal problems. The impact could shake up the engine/all moving parts and misalign the entire car's body frame. I'm also in cali and I just sold my wheels.. sorry.

if i was you, i'd first check for any alignment problems like the front end or the entire frame. Anyways, it shouldn't be a big deal to get it fixed whatever it is on the Z. I was reading this article in the papers the other day, saying that a lot of BMWs made after 2004 will be considered totaled according to the insurance companies just for minor frame damage. Because 2004 and newer BMW firewalls are constructed with alluminum for a 50/50 weight distribution.

I live in Phoenix, AZ and would seriously consider getting rid of my rims and tires as a set if the price was right. But I would need to sell the whole set to make it worth the hassle. This would be a good upgrade from your stockers and They are the track spec lightweight 18" rays. From an 03 track Z. The tires are in great shape as well, they only have about 3k miles on them. Let me know if you might be interested...

You can also try ebay they are on there all the time. I'll bet you can get one for ~$100.
