Default Rear Rim is bent, need to buy new AP2 17" Rim :(

So I went to get my wheels balanced after having problems with my car shaking like a madman after I hit a pothole last week. I thought it was just the front passenger side rim, but on the balancer you could tell the rear passenger side rim was totally bent ... The front one is fine after being balanced at least.

So anyways, the guy claimed that it couldn't be fixed ... I don't know if thats BS or not, but I figured I'd start looking around to buy a used rear rim. Doesn't really matter with or without a tire, passenger side or driver side (although if it has a tire and its the passenger side that'd be sweet)

Hoping someone might have an extra AP2 rim they're willing to sell. PM me or reply here if you've got one. Local would be great but if I have to pay for shipping ... then so be it.

I swear I have no luck, first my TL is vandalized ... now the S2K has a bent rim! Could be worse though, so I shouldn't complain

Yeah I might try that ... do you know how long it takes to get fixed usually? Is it like they fix it when you're there or is it more like drop off and pick up 3 days later .. ?!?

Thanks

I tried calling them but I guess they're already closed.

Doh, I want to try to get this fixed in time for Fall Colors...

Maybe I'll just buy a new one and get the bent one fixed so I have an extra one lying around.

I think that is definitely the way to go.
