I've got a dilemma as last week, one of the cars ('05 Toyota Camry) in the family hit a curb and the front driver's side wheel got bent. Now, I bought this car used and the original owner had aftermarket alloy wheels on the car.

In the ideal situation, I can find a replica of the original aftermarket wheels and replace just the bent wheel. But the problem is I can't find it. I've searched for inscriptions on the back side of the wheel and other than "Made in China" and the wheel specs (15 x 6 1/2 JJ), there is one other: "ZCW". I've googled "ZCW", but none of their current wheels match what I've got.

The second option, is to go to the junkyard and find 4 factory alloy wheels for the car.

The third option (more expensive) is to replace all four wheels with a different set of alloys, but I may end up in this same situation again should something similar happen. So, this may not be the best option.

I've attached a pic of an undamaged wheel and another of the inside of the damaged wheel. Does anyone here recognize this wheel and if so, would you let me know what brand it is, so I can track it down. What have some folks here done if you have been in such a situation?

I understand that this is the 4G section on tires, wheels & suspension, but am not sure where else to post it on AZ. If there is a better place, mods kindly move it there.

 

Hmm - I'm guessing you might get better luck in car talk.

 

lol on those lug covers.

Finding a replacement for those will be tough. Time for new/used wheels.

 

What about wheel repair as an option? If that's possible, check with your tire installer or Toyota dealer for the outfits they use.

 

See if you can get the bent wheel repaired. If not, get a set of OEM replicas or a set of OEMs from a junkyard/auto recycler.

 

lol... didn't have a choice... that's the way they came...

Also, I don't have a pic of how bent the wheel is.... It's bent somewhat bad on the edge... I don't know if it's repairable.

Anyways, thanks a lot guys. I'll probably end up buying some better looking wheels....

 

I found the wheel on ebay, but the ones I found are chrome. Hopefully this helps you find the wheel so you can buy a single one...

^ Pick those up and repaint one/all the wheels. Just another option

 

Dang, you're good. I did a pretty decent search earlier and couldn't find that wheel.

 

Wow, equally impressed as well.

 

Just trying to help the guy out.

 

Thanks Sly! If I can't track down a 15" wheel tonight, I'll be buying another set tomorrow.... Thank you for the effort all of you put into searching this out for me...

 

Welcome.
