Car Problems and a Crack in the wheel
Ok so just as asianspec and pimpcl called me a week or so back, my check engine light pops up. They have a nice laugh over it and it turns out to be something with the on-board diagnostic system (OBD). After getting the thing fixed I get a letter in the mail from Acura saying there is an extended warranty and repairs that are eligible MIGHT be covered and reimbursed. MIGHT be... good luck 
Also the day I took the car to the shop my wheel cracked, and I woke up w/ a flat tire. My mechanic lagged on finding his guy to fix it so I now have to find a shop to fix this rim asap. I want to just fix the crack, nothing cosmetic or refinishing, I think I am going to sell these soon as is, and getting some 17's. Anyways the car has been treating me poorly lately, I had my ball joints lubed up and stuff a month ago and I have squeaks again...Its been in/out of the shop for random things... /rant
Anybody know a wheel repair shop that will hook this up nearby me? Im on my spare, I cant go too far

to be honest i wouldnt get it fixed, it looks like a stress crack, if they fill it in, and smooth it out, it will prolly just crack again. once they start thiers no stopping it. better off getting a new rim.. did you hit one of those dislodged city titties or maybee a cone base ? maybee the city will pay for a new rim. just food for thought.

I wouldn't bother with it, specially if you're getting new wheels, keep in mind it's not the car's fault it's not treating you bad

Unfortunately I can only say that these wheels are 4x100 because three are 4x100/114.3 universal and one turned out to be 4x100/108 universal.
Besides no used ones this time, I want brand new..
If they made this in our bolt pattern id consider em too

Im probably going to pick em up weds, but they dont have the regular bronze color... nobody does.. especially in 4x114.3.. stupid bolt pattern. The only thing available is the full royal sports bronze.. which is a little darker and kind of changes color depending on the light... it can look like the pic above, but with more light it can look like this:
Anyways the guy I talked to also has the subaru java black and said this would look good.. comments?
Also its 17x7.5, 45mm offset
