Help - Need new rim

Well I just got word that one of my stock rims was not repairable, so I need a new or used stock 17". Anyone know of any good places to look. The shop I use quoted me $265.00 for a new rim from the local acura dealer.

Thanks,
Iggy

I thought about that, but at this point I think I'll stick with stockers until I can budget for a proper setup.

Where do you live? I know of a place in PA and NJ if your on the east coast. They take broken rims and give you repaired rim for $150. I hit a HUGE pot hole going 90mph and it busted my tire and rim. The rim was bent like "D" and he still took it and did a switch. Let me know where your located.

Dragon,
I'm up in NH.

Actually, I had TWO bent rims. One was repairable, but the other cracked in a place that made it impossible to weld. Oh well, I sucked it up and bought a new one for $265 through a local tire place. The local Acura dealer quoted me $349.

At least now I have a temporary spare rim I can use when I bend the next one.
