HELP! Stranded and need 19" wheels!

So.....Ryan and I were on our way down to North Carolina for the final time, and BOOM - Ryan ran over some semi-truck parts in the middle of the highway! There was no way to avoid these, as it was dark and so were the parts. We were 1 of at least 10 cars with damage. I was dead asleep and I woke up bouncing out of my seat. Anyway, his 19" rims are bent like crazy, and I am sure the tires are ruined too. We need to get to North Carolina as soon as possible - we are both expected at work Monday morning! Does ANYONE have a set of 19" wheels (and possibly tires too) we could get TOMORROW (September 12)? We are in Lexington, KY right now with no transportation. Please let us know ASAP! Call Ryan's cell at 502-333-4234.

THANKS!

Ryan and Shelley

Im not much help. But if you can get home on the spare wheel, I have one Rear wheel with a brand new 100% tire. But its located in Orlando Florida. I can get it shipped to you. $200 + $ 50 shipping.

Thank you so much for trying to help! We are going to need 2 wheels and tires to go anywhere. The donut spare will not fit over his brakes, even on the rears.

Just wanted to thank everyone for trying! We were able to get Ryan's winters off of the semi we used to move everything, and had them put on. I admit, driving on winter tires in this temperature isn't the best, but at least we had that! Hopefully we'll be able to fix the 2 wheels that were bent out of shape since they are not made anymore!

I am sure you will be able to. i am glad that it all worked out. I just bent one of my Ro jas (they arent made anymore either) just a little after driving to chicago...I feel your pain.

Good luck with the move! Hopefully you can represent the OGC with the NGC down there!
