Default Big pot hole+350z rim=??

Well a dented rim. I will post pictures up tomorrow. I just got done putting the spare on. The tire looks okay but the rim is totally dented. Just wondering if this is fixable or is a new rim needed.

If a new rim is needed if anyone has an 04 enthusiast rim just chillin in the garage? Please shot me a pm because I am in need. Or if anyone has an entire set of new or old rims let me know. I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

-Matthew

Can anyone point me in the right direction where I could find these used rims? I am new to the forum and am still not familiar with this website.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Call the city and see if you can have them pay for the damage.

OMG people are useless for information. I guess every question has already been answered and I just have to search. I have noticed that when people ask the same question that has been answered numerous times that people here seem to get really mad and forget the reason for a forum like this.

Everyone isn't perfect and everyone here once was a newbie with a neat car that they wanted to race or modify

Check out the Market Place for used rims. It's easy to navigate, just look in the Wheels section. Posting pics would also help. Good luck.

Yes. Bent wheels are fixable, but it may not be economical. Check eBay for used 17-inch wheels.

...and if you do choose to post in the marketplace, be more specific. There are several 17-inch wheels. What size are we taking about?
