need some help...no where else to go
Ok this is what happened. I was driving and i was cut off by someone, and my 2005 Track Edition was put into a curb. I can fix everything, no body damage, just wheels and a few other parts i have from dealer already. The problem is that the dealer wants an insane amount of money for the Track Edition wheels. Anyone know the cheapest place to pick up either front and rear right wheels or buy them individually? Anything would help.
Thank you,

You can find the wheels on eBay usually in sets of 4. I know that will give you a lot of wheels, but 4 used wheels may be less than one new one. Two of the extra wheels can be set-up with drag slicks.

depends how competent the wheel repair shop is.
i had my old racing harts fixed at a local shop and they freaking looked like
godzilla stepped on em'
they were one piece but the shop made em like new
you may wanna take the rims to a few shops
if you need a new wheel dealership prices are just dumb just buy a used stock set and sell of the remaining three in the marketplace to people in your situation or folks who want a full size spare
good luck
