Which Wheels?
So, I curbed my passenger side front rim, and scratched it pretty badly. The Stealership wants $800 to replace it and $250 to fix. SO i've decided to go with some aftermarket wheels, now which ones?
1)American Racing Casino ($225.00/wheel)
or
2)American Racing Rogue($274.50/wheel)
1)
2)
I know the decision is ultimately up to me, but i'd like some input, thanks. BTW: Both would be 18's and chrome.

Look into another alternative to fixing the wheel, such as a custom wheel shop or something along those lines. I ended up with a lot of real fine scraches in two of mine and messed the finish up pretty good, but I was able to polish most of it out myself.

Well, the wheel is actually scratched, like groved. It's hard to explain but it's effed up pretty bad. They are not just surface sratches, they are actually grooves in the wheel. They said they would have to send it off to GM to get fixed.

The dealership said they'd have to send it off. A wheel shop can probably do it there for half the price, if not less. Get a quote from someplace else. I just don't see spending that much money for something that can be fixed for most likely less than $200....

I dont know man 800 bones. Thats steep. The stock wheels look realy nice IMO. I would send it off yourself or find a place near where you live. But if you get set on buying new rims get the Rouge.

Hi 05Black -
Have you seen the tire-rack wheel selector? You can see wheels on your car -
I'll see if this link works - I thought these looked good on a black SS -
http://www.tirerack.com/upgrade_gara...S+Supercharged
(ok - that just puts you in the SS wheel selector - but I tried the MOTEGI RACING DV5's nad I thought they looked great....)
best regards -
