Default damaged wheels

i need 2 dark gunmetal 18x9 +35 advan rs wheels please!!!

vendors, please pm me your best quote fot these two wheels shipped to 78229... thanks





sorry for the post other guys, i dont know which vendors sell advans besides worldone,gruppe-s, or rallysportdirect , so i thought id make a thread so all vendors who do sell advans can see that theres a sale waiting for them ..

anyways, i do need these wheels though, my STI is nondriveable until i get these wheels

don't worry they make them.

the hard part will be to find a vendor willing to split up a set of evo fitment they have sitting instock.

have you tried PM'ing a slew of vendors to see if they have any instock?

hey guys im going to post up some pics of the damaged wheels so you can see how bad the damage is and tell me if they are repairable..


the wheels are pretty bad, imo, so if no one has anything helpful to say or suggest, then dont post at all please, thanks... pics will be up in a bit.

edit: here are the pics


front d/s wheel



rear d/s wheel

How did you do that?? It's crazy what can happen to a wheel but not really damage the tire...

Not really sure, but I don't think you can repair that kind of damage.... and even if you could, not sure if you would want to and it would probably cost almost the same price as new wheels....

Throw your stockers on for now.. Advan's are rarely instock and are 3-4 month waits... i talked to tons of vendors when I was looking and got the same answer.

this is where it pays to have a quality wheel designed to stay in one big piece.

your best bet is to get them replaced and make a table out of the damaged ones.

is your suspension bent?

I dont think the suspension is bent, i got under the car and looked at everything, but im no professional mechanic... i know the alignment is off cuz after it happened i drove home about 10 miles on the freeway and the car was pulling to the left, and the car was shaking alot but i think it was shaking because i was riding on some fuked up unbalanced wheels.. but who knows, im going to take it to a shop tomorrow to have it inspected....
