Default where can i buy a single rim/wheel? --- had a accident

Recently got into a accident and basically shattered my 2 of Axis Milanos. one front and one rear. 19x8.5 and 19x9.5. luckily, nothing happened to my suspension and no body damage

ended up buying some WORK Emotion CR-Kai's from ravspec and well. he didn't inform me those were for coupes... so im stuck with coupe wheels

does anyone know where i can buy the other 2 back instead of buying a whole new set. really don't have the money to buy a whole new set agian =(

this is what happened.

Wow

How do you not have any body or suspension damage when your rim was demolished?

I'm not doubting you, it's just amazing that you have no damage other than the rim.

for the total, i paid around 2500 for them. Willing to sell for 2000+ shipping, OR 2000 flat for pickup. since you live in sacramento, I might deliver to you for free so i can have a excuse to go to wednesday night drags at sacramento speedway


Work Emotion CR-Kai's
18x8.5 fronts +20 offset
18x9.5 rear +20 offset

Looks VERY AGGRESSIVE


brand new tires on them
235/40/18 bridgestone POTENZA re050a POLE POSITION fronts 100% tread 275/35/18 bridgestone POTENZA re050a rears 100% tread

installed at wheelworks in San Francisco, have paperwork in handy.
driven about 30 miles on the tires before the rubbing got too bad and my camber caused it to start cutting in on the tires. took it to wheelworks and they said its fine as long as i dont drive on them on my car anymore. two things you can do with the tire. leave them as they are and drive with them like any other tires, or have a wheel place flip them around for you so they appear to be inside instead of outside and be just as good =)


here are some pics
