Default I bent my Volks.

Well, it looks like my technique of side-stepping potholes and uprooted steel grates has failed. It looks like a portion of the outer rim (on the right front wheel) is bent. Haven't been able to check for cracks (highly doubt this) but the car is starting to shake like mad at freeway speeds...

You guys have any idea where I can buy just 1 Volk wheel? Not sure if I want to bother with the hassle of paying premium for just 1 wheel...the teg' is starting to show its age and we had a good run. Maybe this is a sign that it's time to go ahead with my plans to buy a new car?

I have the LE-37T...took a month to ship them when I first ordered. I've been able to find a few places that will order a complete set for me, but I just need 1.

I had been thinking about getting a new car in 05'...just hadn't decided exactly when....

Damn...musta been a very hard impact. I've hit tons of potholes/steel plates with mine, they aren't bent yet....:knocksonwood:

Anyways, www.group5motorsports.com sells single rims. Is it too bad of a bend to just get it repaired?
