Default scratched my wheel

My girlfriend scratched my back right wheel its awful looking. But its cool she is paying for it. Lexus ppl told me the cost would be 1900 dollars for just the rim and 600 for tire so thats 2500 dollars to replace one wheel. WOW i just poo on myself when i heard the price

sorry that is crazy regardless who is paying. time for aftermarket rims and tires for that money! just get the rim repaired for like 50$ and save all that $$$ you and the g/f can go away and use that for something else?? IMO anyway.

good luck with it!

For that much might as well go for aftermarket wheels and be unique

yeah she gonna repair the damage one but she wants to get another one to i didnt tell her to she came up to me and told me she order an extra and that this was the price. I even said they cost more than my aftermarket wheel 4 my acura but hey its her money and thats what she decided to do
trust me i could of use that money for something else like aftermarket rim or a tv. Ill talk to her, see if she wants to change her mind next time i see her
