Nothing serious, hit a curb intering bridge @55MPH. Bent front rim with new tire. Sidewalled rear (old)tire. Hoping my front end will be ok with re-alignment. Hoping to find a snow wheel and used tire for less than $100.

 

pics?

 

At work. I'll try to get some cell phone pics. I found a wrecked 96 with after market aloys and new tires. 1 rim is bent but tire is new, gunna get them and run 1 steally till i get a matching aloy. It'll be ghetto for a while, but thats ok.

 

Well for $100 I got 3 wheels and 4 like new tires.

First the damage;




Wheels are Z or OZ Racing, if anyone know where there might be one of these in 15" Id reall be interestd.;

 

check all your suspension components.
make sure steering rack, tie rods, tension rods, control arms and the knuckle are not bent.
good luck

 

 

I hit a curb after sliding out on an icy road a few winters ago at 25 mph. I bent my stock steel wheel and also had to replace my lower control arm. good luck hope its an easy fix.

 

Everything looks good visually. Getting an alignment check tonight. I'm trying to locate a matching rim for three I bought.

 

You can get wheels at Pull a Part for like 20-30$ I'd try that, at least for a temp...not sure if there is one in your area.

 

Nope not around here. Ebay and wrecking yards, unfortunately most wreckers arent gonna inventory aftermarket wheels by manufacturer or model, and I cant look in person. I live in BFE Oregon Coast.

 

I went back and got the fourth rim tonight. Doesn't look bad at all, My dad says he can pound it back into shape, TIG weld it, and clean it up in the lathe. Says he fixed a $1,000 Caddy rim that broke just the same.

 

Gruesome damage,

Good on your dad for a free fix
