RedLineShinka

Hey guys and girls,
While going to lunch the other day, I had to swerve into a parking lot entrance, to avoid an SUV that had taken up the entire road. I couldn't squeeze all the way through, so I ended up alongside the curb, and while my front wheels made it, my back-right one didn't. DESTROYED my wheel.... took out about a 1/8" chunk aound 2/3 of the outside of the wheel lip... and a little scratch on the side-skirt coming up along the bottom-right side of the back wheel well.... barely noticeable though.

I'll post some pictures tomorrow when I get home but... BRUTAL boys and girls! >$300 damage to the wheel... ouch.

Anyone know any tricks or places that could do this cheaper?

Sorry to hear about that. Had something like that happen to me a year and some ago. Hope you get it fixed soon.

OE wheel?

Make this an opportunity to upgrade! (though that will be significantly more than $300.)

Otherwise try to find someone that is selling wheels separately here on the forum.

seeing as you can get a new dark chrome wheel (that's what comes on the shinka, right?) for $357, you might be better off just getting a new wheel. might not be a bad idea to get an alignment too.

wheel at that price...

you should take that money out of the ******* in the SUV since it's their fault anyway.
