Hm... well in that case....I´ve got a good insurance to cover it.. but I will have to pay 2000sek for it in "selfcost" ( about200USD ).

But the price here in sweden for only ONE RAYS front rim is 13000SEK ( about 1300USD )... =/

1. go to your nearest dealer
2. trade-in the Z for a Civic

j/k. You'll need new rims for sure.

Thanx for all the help from all of you...!

...but as I said, if I make it a case for my insurancecompany my cost will only be 2000 sek ( 200 USD )... the rest they will take care of... new rims etc... at least I hope

Plus that damage might have bent a control arm etc, so insurance will cover that damage also.

Wow man.. Rough hit. I would say either give it to insurance or just say its time for some new 19" volks. Either way Good Luck.

Did you hit a curb or a land mine? Wow...

Let the mechanic look it over. Since you're getting a little work done he may not charge you for the inspection.
