Default Holy God!!!! Rim Quote Gone Wrong!

Alright check it out, just got back from Superior Nissan in Fayetteville Arkansas. I had a nice curb checking accident a while back so when i went in to have my car serviced they quoted me ONE as in 1 stock '03 wheel. $873!!!!. NO WAY, i can buy almost a whole set of aftermarkets for that price! so anyway i was just amazed and wanted to vent, thanks for listening.

Find one off ebay cheap.

Hope you don't pay that to the stealership. That seems the going rate for a rim from them. And the Nismo is less than 600 a rim....geez.

You dont think that a nissan stealership hasnt sold a wheel or two for that price. I wont say that some people are ignorant, but rather they just dont know. But wait, thats still ignorant.

I imagine that insurance companies pay those prices when making accident repairs.

Damn, for $873.00 you should be able to get a complete set with tires in the PC or on ebay.

never buy stock rims from the dealership. You can get 3 full sets with tires for the price of one wheel.
