Just checked the Nissan website. $623 for one rim. $750 and you can have the whole set with tires. 700 miles on them. So you can have brand new tires too.

Thanks for the Offer ZKdoggZ but im really short on cash otherwise i would buy me a real set like 1st suggested.....i was looking at a couple of online sites and the cheapest i found was 300$ for one rim plus shipping and handling i also was looking at wheel technologies in dallas and they said they could fix the rim for around 200...

Hey chuck it was not a pot hole that i hit it was the Curb

i was driving past a semi truck when all of a sudden he started to move in my lane. I flashed my lights and honked but he did not see me so it was ethier get crushed by the semi truck or make a hard right and hit the curb.

and to make it worst i wasnt able to get the trucks license plate and i didnt want to risk chasing after it becasue i did not want to risk causing more damage to my car .....

Might as well go new. The structure/properties of the metal won't be the same. Only 100 diff for a new one

Chuck33079 · 01-25-2013, 02:25 PM

Make sure you check the suspension. Those kind of impacts have a nasty tendency to bend suspension components.

damn man sorry to see this, did the collision with the curb set off your alignment at all? might have to get an alignment after you get that new wheel bro. good luck

No might involved. He absolutely needs to get an alignment after a hit hard enough to crack a wheel like that. There's a good chance something got bent. OP, if your upper control arm is toast, I've got my stock ones laying around in the shed. Let me know if you need it.
