Did find out it'll be more to fix the rim, than replace it, so, I'm going to grab that one off ebay I found. None to be had locally.

That is understandable. At least you have found one and can get it.....right?

Yep. I checked underneath, nothing else looks damaged, thankfully.

Yep. The guy on Ebay wants 175. I shot him an offer of 150, I'm going to get it either way.

Honestly that is not that bad of a price either way.

That is good to hear about the underneath. When I had my '86 Olds Cutlass I was making a turn at an intersection and it plowed on the wet roads. I hit the curb with my wheels turned and destroyed the aftermarket wheel that was on it. Thankfully nothing else got damaged from that incident.

No, but, being the cheap-*** that I am......LOL

If I don't hear from him on the offer, I'm just going to by the damn thing, I don't like not having a spare!

It is not being a cheap ***.... it is being smart. Figure that $25 will cover the cost of dismounting the tire from the old wheel and getting it on the new one.
