I'm hoping somebody on this board can make me feel better about life. Does anyone know where I can buy one replacement wheel for my stock 2001 AE (17" 5 spoke). Nissan dealer wants to charge me $580 just for the one wheel! WTF!

I slid on some ice right into a curb. Hard. Bent my front passenger wheel and lower control arm. Of course, need an alignment also.

Is there a way to buy a replica wheel or something that'll match, but cheaper than the $580. Total this thing is set to cost me over $1000, unless I find a cheaper wheel. Are there people that sell this type of stuff? Any recommendations are appreciated.

Thanks bruthas!!!

 

search the web, search for replicate.. I think there used to be one company who make a lot of replicate OEM rims...check it out.. sorry it's been long since I last looked.. so I can't tell you the name

 

www.courtesyparts.com or www.devonnissan.com I did not check to see if they had the wheel but they should. Good luck !!

 

There are no replica AE rims, probably SE rims{not polished}. I would check out some junk yards( www.car-part.com ) or contact courtesy nissan.

also try e-bay....

 

replica won't match. do a search on junkyards, they have on-line parts requests. fill out like 20 of em, i am sure someone will have em. also there are junk-yards that locate parts for you, nationwide. that will be your best bet.....

 

ebay or local junk yards.
best of luck

 

Thanks everyone for the help. I'll see what I can find. I'll keep everyone posted!
