Default So sad....rim messed up, what to do?

Alright I'm really sad and pissed...I got in a car accident and messed up my right RH J8 rim. Its bend and scraped and I took it 2 tru wheel/fix a rim in hollywood and to my luck the guy said he couldn't fix it dammit!!! What should I do.... Find someone who CAN fix it or just buy a new 1? Chris @ f1 said it would be 500 bucks for a new one its a 19x9 26 offset..

I'm pretty sure no 1 is selling just 1 rim so I'm screwed with a new rim...

Any recommendations?

you should buy a new one.

or if youre lucky enough like i was after an accident, my insurance found and paid for a brand new volk sf-challenge rim with a new tire after my original one was completely f*cked.

the body shop i used was sterling autobody in anaheim. maybe you could give them a call and see what they could do.

Sell em and buy something stronger. new RHs, sh*t even when I had C2s...they bend hella easy. Never had a problem with the old school ones (Type C's).

I rock Axis now....haven't had a problem yet and I'm on dubs with 30 series tires.

Life could be worse. Lucky it was just one and glad you are okay.

Buy a new one.

I think having to sell 3/4 wheels then buying new rims would make you "lose" more money versus buying one new rim.

Unless you really hate your rims now or something, which I doubt.

Any RH dealer should be able to sell you one, I don't see why not.

yea well 2 my luck Chris at F1 has one in stock WOO!
and i like my rims and it would be cheaper 2 just buy one new rim instead of getting a whole diff. set.....i mean who would wanna buy just 3 rims?

im glad as well cause things coulda been way worse...spun out, barely missed the center divider, and stuck on the fast lane facing oncoming traffic, not good at all
