Where can I find these wheels!? I looked all over on ebay and google and couldn't find them. If someone could send me a link that would be great. I may just buy a new one if it's cheap enough.

What size are they? Team Dynamics "Motorsport" wheels right?

They are Team Dynamics and they're 18 x 8. And holy shit they are expensive..

$245 for an 18x8? That's not terrible for a brand new wheel.

Can you put me in contact with this aluminum guy? I need an opinion on welding a wheel.

If you think that's bad, price out a new 19" BBS CH with Nitto 555's. ;)

I'm cheap. :tongue:

My friend can get it fixed through discount tire for $75. So I think I'm gonna do that. Then I also need 2 new tires since 2 of them have really bad camber wear. Plus I'm picking up a shell for $230 that I posted in my other thread so money is extremely tight. I'm really hoping to fix this shell up nice and sell it to make some money off it. Did I mention I have been jobless for like 6-7 months?! I feel bad borrowing so much money from my parents..

Well whoever Discount tire does their rims through said they couldn't fix it.. The bend isn't even that bad so I'm either gonna try to find another place and see what they say or get out the torch and mallet. I'm coming back home to MN this weekend so I will probably just do it then.

3lb hammer and a piece of 1/4" sheet rubber. That looks very fixable.

I actually have some 1/4 sheet rubber sitting at home! I will try that out. What about heat though? Should I heat it up too? I have a little propane torch I was gonna use.

xveganxcowboyx - If you're asking me, It's my friend from discount tire. So you can just go to any Discount tire and have them fix it for you.
