Bent my wheel....

I bent my wheel on a pothole (damn it I should have bought the insurance!!) - it's not terribly bad but I don't want to drive on it for any extended period of time. Anyone know where I can get a good replacement? it's the 18" chrome SS wheel I need, and I only need one.

Id say take a look around at a few of the junkyards in your area for any smashed SS S/Cs and just buy one of the rims from the lot there... and if not you can always go to the dealer right?

Crazy - Just got a price for a wheel and the guy was going to charge me $610, and that's after cutting me a break!!

Gonna look into getting this one repaired. If not I think I just might buy a whole set of after market wheels. If I go that route would anyone be interested in buying some of the 3 good wheels for a spare (they're in perfect condition, just a little dirty)

Yes I was going to suggest getting yours repaired. There are companies that advertise in the backs of the mags who will straighten it for you. I've heard that most of the time you can't even tell it was bent, even at high speeds. I can't really recommend one company though, no personal experience with them.

You can get some really nice custom wheels for less than $200 a pop, or higher, naturally.
I'd get the bent one fixed and take it from there.
