So I had them look at the wheel. The crack is running vertically down the barrel, so they said it cannot be repaired as the crack will eventually go right across the barrel.

SO

I called the dealer, 900 bucks for one stock wheel. Fck that.
Tire rack has a set of 4 EKM3's for 725 bucks probably gonna do that

My mom broke a wheel on her GXP. It was unfixable. Didn't tell me anything and went to GM and paid $1100 for a new one...

Yeah I'm looking around on here for one right now.
I've found a set of Mikes rims in 18" for 325 shipped
A set of dr34's in 17" ( need new tires ) in WPG for 400
or the EKm3's for 700

Honestly I'm getting bored of the way my car look so I'll prob go with the Enkeis as I find them the best looking

Tire rack lists a good price but they only have 2 in stock.
You guys know of any other good tire/wheel web sites

Call Speed Factor for ***** and get a price. Mikes wheels actually weren't badly priced.

Considering your time to drive down there and you will have to pay taxes on them anyways that's not bad.

I'm betting you would need wheel spacers to run those.

I'm debating to get 18x9 or 18x8
They will look a lot better in 9 but I dont want to sacrifice total rubbing and poking
I asked the stance thread to see what those hipsters think

^^^Might be able to take those off your hands if the don't fit.

Also need to do rear brakes. Looking for somethings decent. Thinking OEM spec rotors with HPS pads.
