Today on my ride home from my friends house I had a BIG desision to make, not realy big but ya, I was either SMASH head first into a farm truck or go over a pot hole. Now just wait before yall jump to conclutions I'm on a country road with a 2 inch drop and no sholder meaning if I swurve I either hit the truck head on or go through a ditch and maybe hit a few thing and

up my front end. Of coure I hit the pot hole IDK how fast but of course I BLOW MY TIRE and even better BEND MY RIM

. So I get to work roughly half hour late, I called though and I go up to parts and ask for how much a rim cost 10 spoke Mark VIII tells me $480 bucks with my discount. Thats not even the best park I already need a new head light and I even

up my steering alinement too.

So I do the math,
Rim $482
Tire (maybe) $300 (Yokomota?)
Headlamp $502
Alinement $100
$1384 Just an estament

even beter I'm broke as a JOKE and get that much in about 6 pay checks so ya I'm

Look good, but you WERE complaining about the money situation.

You want me to call about the wheel?

Posted by: Lincolnpimpin

Ya I would more rather have one in use than 3 sitting around.

Bummer on the car guy!

Hope your hunt for parts works out in your favor. Be patient if necessary you'll find your parts.

I called the guy......he sold them a few days ago. I did however call my usuall salvage yard, and they want 75 for the rim. I would be more than happy to go pick it up for you and ship it off.

Let me know if that will work for you.
