So I basically did a 180 and slammed my rear passenger wheel straight into the curb. The body shop guy said that my wheel was probably damaged internally or something, but all I see are inside scratches from broken parts and really bad curbing on the rims.

What should i do?

1. buy a new wheel for 600

2. have them put on the damaged wheel (seems like I can still ride on it), then wait until I can find a cheaper used one (already searched, but I need one soon) and then have the alignment done afterward

 

you might have other problems besides a bad wheel. why pay $600 for a factory one, when there are places to buy a replica for around $200.

 

the other damage already costs $1900, I just want to try to save money in the wheel department. are the replicas good enough quality? would those throw off the balance or anything like that? (noob speaking). there are some pretty cheap ones off ebay
EBAy

 

Buy a new rim, and hopefully you learned a lesson.

 

stop crashing people!!

 

ouch!!
i would like to know from anyone that has experiences with crashes like this tell me is it likely that rear sub frame may be tweaked..

anyways.. only thing to do now is start replacing parts till it all shows good on a alignment machine

 

Did you slide or were you playin with the E-brake? I agree with the ebay, get something a bit cheaper. I would also get a re alignment and make sure everything is checked.

 

and get some new tires, those look about shot.

 

The body shops I've been to have always given me refurbished stock wheels in exchange for my damaged one (core.) Highest I remember paying is $250.

 

big boo boo right there
