I blemished the second of my wheels today against a curve making an u-turn. Who knew the road was closed.

I see that the official replacement costs for my 17" oem wheels (2004 Auto) is $464, and I saw some on ebay for $185+shipping.

I guess I'll have to see how it looks after my next wash.

I may be considered boring by some here, but I like my wheels otherwise, and do not plan to use this as an opportunity to buy aggressive rims

I guess I could decide, when I need to replace tires, to order 1 wheel, and just put a blemished wheel as a spare.

 

It will happen again--just let the stockers run their course.

 

That's true. If you are looking for some extra stockers put a wanted thread in the marketplace. I'm sure there are some people that would sell you a set.
