curbed my rim in the bad snow yesterday

this damn snow around here sucks now my rim has a 6 inch gash around the edge but luckily my tire didnt get damaged so now i wonder how much it will be to get a new 17 inch rim from gm, ill have to go get an estimate later i guess, anyone have any ideas how much a rim would cost?

Man , if you can afford it , I would nab these wheels off ebay . There the ones that look nearly identical to the 17" SS wheels from the HHR . But they carry the spokes almost to the lug holes . Its how ALL the SS wheels shoulda been . The HHR uses the 5-110 pattern like the SS and SS/SC . I posted the link becasue their so cheap for 4 .

I ruined one of my 18 SS wheels too last week , sliding into a curb . 1 day before I got my snow tires and wheels on

I damaged my 17" rim on my 2.4 too. Dealer didnt give me an exact price, but said I was looking at $600 a wheel. Two of mine were damaged. So now these dinged 17" wheels are my winter set, and I bought a set of 18" gunmetals for my off-season

All considering, I got pretty nice winter wheels now, lol.

GM is a rip off when it comes to parts for your car. I have steelies and they wanted to charge me $147 CDN for 1 of them!
