Tire Question
Hey guys...
I have a problem.
My front left wheel got a big ass bubble in it from a pot-hole in Jersey City.. thank god i am moving to south jersey soon.
Anyway, as per replacing the wheel, do i have to replace it with the same exact kind? or can i use a similar performance wheel to substitute?

It pissed me off that dealers try to screw people over with little things like this.

They are the first people that we come to as car owners and they should be way better than this since most people are not as car intelligent as most of us on this board.
I am going to check a few places near my house and see if i can get a deal better than $190. Oh well...
