Need new rim
drove 250 miles thru snow and got a mile from my house. took the turn off a highway to the avenue. snow was so wet and icy was sliding. brakes made it faster. i steered to the slide and decided to swing it so i hit the curb, street light and street post on each side. bam,, hit front,, then back driver side. pop,, rim is trashed.. had it changed in five minutes,, is my third flat with goodyear ats's. so, bet ford wants 600 bucks for this 17" rim.. im gonna go shopping at salvage yards. any help in directions would be grateful.

Need new rim
went to ford today and i can get the same rim for 115bucks. im happy with that. the brakes kinda squeak on my new rim and wondering if i tweaked them or its just the rim. gonna get tires rotated they are due and have alingment checked. if i did any damage to the axel is should be able to feel it or hear it right?
