well the current tires i love but, since my wife drives the car she it a massive pothole and look what happened

lucky that the tire wasn't damaged. and the rims is still in good condidtion, I'll have to move this rim to the rear and buy some new rims ( wells its about time ) and thinking on getting these

any thought's my budget allow me at $800.00

In that case get a better bigger tire..stop running rubberbands.

& it would be stupid to get those BBS cause they are probably hella expensive then you wrap it on those weak tires & the same thing is going to happen. So yeah new wheels & tires would work best. Just my 2 cents.

FYI... that BBS wheel is probably $800 for just ONE.... sooo if your budget is $800 and not $3200, might wanna keep looking.

yeah, unless you find a used set you are going to pay more than $800 for a set of those.

edit: I thought those were the RXs and missed the CV. So yes, they are $800 and only available in 17" from tirerack. Here's a problem though. Tirerack says they have less than 3 in stock. Since it's a closeout price you might be SOL with getting a full set.

OK wife will allow me to spend 1 grand anyone with have any good tires that are close to this design? ( no not srt-4 rims not just yet )

Also spoke with the wife next month or so we plan on buying some coilovers so i can install some thicker tires on the new set of rims.

btw here is a side view of the rim the bent is just on this side no innner wall

FWIW, a good wheel repair place could easily fix that.

But that takes all the fun out of it. So I'll shut up now. And hope your wife doesn't read this.

Thats a bend?

ROFL.

Balance it up, put it on the right rear, and enjoy. I doubt you would even feel that unless it was on the front.

I wish this was facebook so I could "like" this post.

Also, like Bill said, any wheel shop, and I mean nearly ANY could fix that bent wheel.
