Need your help... Wheels...

Guys, I took a pot hole hard last night and pinched a sidewall as well as messed up a wheel. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a 19 carrera sport wheel (needs to be a front).. I'm also going to need a new tire (michelin pilot sports)

PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF U HAVE ANYTHING, OR KNOW OF ANYWHERE THAT I COULD GET THESE(other than a dealer...)

THANKS!

Wheel enhancement is a good start. Maybe try Ebay also.

It can't be fixed, I'm talking with alan at wheel enhancement and they can't even take a trade on the wheel... :-(

If anyone has anything please let me know! I need a Front and now need a Rear Carrera Sport wheel... If u have pilot sports on them i'd do a package deal!


For reference:

I had the same dilemma...Hit a brick that fell off the back of a truck in front of me - wheel and tire damaged beyond repair. Had to pick up a new Carrera Sport and Pilot Sport ($1500 at the dealer). Then I saw that forum member MIGZ had a set of Techarts up for sale (don't know if they're still available) - and felt I should've spent the extra $$ to grab those. Don't get me wrong, I really like the look of the CS's, but those Techarts would've really made the car...

Times like this that I don't understand why everyone doesn't buy the wheel & tire warranty. Its only $5-600 and pays for itself if you ever use it once.

It's not offered by all dealerships.

I haven't heard of this... It would definitely be something to look into, thanks!

Most dealers are offering this nowadays but sometimes they don't make you aware of it - I also believe you can buy one of these warranties aftermarket.

If any of u chicago area guys have said 'tire/wheel' warranty please PM me with details! I've called a few dealers and they didn't seem to know what I was refering to. Same goes for an aftermarket, please let me know! Thanks!!!

Napleton of Westmont

offered it to me. It seemed a reasonable option considering the Chicago area roads and vulnerability to wheel damage. Of course, I haven't had to use the replacement warranty yet, but it still seems reasonable. I don't know if you can add it after the fact, but I've found their prices (winter factory wheels) to be competitive.

Best wishes.
