New Rims Or Just Replace

I will take a picture tomorrow of the boo boo my tl encountered few months ago.. i was too busy watching the airman excercise in there lil pt shorts and i hit a curb.. i been thinking do i find just one rim or should i get 20's if i do that i wont have the dough for a while.. so one may be ideal.. not sure.

sadly im hoping to find a wrecked tl that someone maybe be able to swap with me.

I don't know how bad the rim is damaged but you might be able to just get it repaired. If you do get new rims get 18s or 19s, I think 19s are the perfect size...20s are too big in my opinion, but it's your car so do as you wish thats just my

Anyone ever try those replica rims on ebay? You can get a set of four for like 500 dollars or one for like 130. Just an idea?

Haha....I knew you girls are as bad as we are when it comes to gawking.

You could look into getting it re-finished. I had minor-moderate rash on all four of mine from the previous owner and got them fixed for 375+ tax. They look like new.
