Not many people want to separate a set or pair of rims out... That is all I was saying.

And quit stalking me. You only seem to post after I do here and on RL. I am married - YOU CAN'T HAVE ME!

Hey, Blue Monster I remember seeing a post a while back where a guy took pictures of the pothole and rim and sent a request to his state and they paid for the damage...

Not sure if it will work for you, but might be worth a shot...

Thanks, I should do that, but given NY's major budget problem, doubt that would lead to much.
Lots of stuff on ebay and 6speed, found a set of OEM hollows for less than $895. I knew this was going to lead to more choices than answers.

I was focusing on if I hit a curb, but after Ard's comments, I began thinking about, "did I hit any big potholes recently?", then I went, oh sh*t, yes, I did.

I hit a huge new pothole dead on at a healthy speed. I didn't see it because the car in front of me was blocking the view and swerved to miss it only at the last second. I remember thinking, oh boy, probably lost a tire, but the car has been driving totally fine since. The right front tire is in great shape and is holding air fine. I hate to replace it given it has so little wear.

I think I am going to look here and on ebay for a used OEM wheel front wheel (are left and right interchangeable?) and order the new tires from tirerack and have it all done together. If anyone is a seller of a used OEM front, pls PM me.

Thanks again.

I've got an unmarked set of OEM's that have PZero's on them, but I can cut the PZeros off and ship them in the Fiske boxes that my new wheels came in. You guys could have 1 front each and a spare rear. Let me know if you're interested.

Oh ok, just did. That F1 engine is great, not sure about the Yellow valve covers. I'll try to contact the constructor of the tables. Thanks
