Messed my Baby UP

So, driving to work today I hit a curb taking an exit. My fault, I wasn't paying attention. I actually SPLIT my front passenger wheel in half, I'll take some pics later. I have a grinding noise in the the front and my passenger side rear is sitting about 2" lower than the drivers side rear.

At a minimum I need 1 new rim ($630 from nissan but I'll look on ebay), probably a passenger side lower control arm, not sure if I f'd up my passenger side struts (front and back). I really don't know what I did to the rear suspension, it's odd that it's sitting lower.

I'm really thinking about going back to stock height, I love the way my car looks but I can't drive it anywhere around the city, it doesn't take bumps at all. If I want something lower or faster I just need to get a project car.

I don't know, I just feel like such a douche right now.


I will need:
1 2004 Maxima SE Rim

Please e-mail me at wojo16@juno.com if you have one or know somebody with one. I may possibly need two.

Thanks

Oh man, that sucks. Sorry to hear this. You have the 18" Maxima wheels right? Keep checking the classifieds. I'd say you could find a single replacement. The control arm damage issue obviously won't be as simple of a fix, but good luck with everything.

Is this the wheel your looking for?


http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...961891184&rd=1

I checked with my friend at a body shop where he gets his wheels from an aftermarket place and this seems to be a good deal for an OEM? I have seen some of the wheels they get in and I would not go with anything other than an OEM wheel!

Good luck!
