I know, I know who wants the stock 17"s that come on the AWD's? well we had a little incident with the wife's brand new IS 250 awd going through a horribly designed drive through That combined with the fact that these tires look like they are too small and "stretched" to fit the width of the rim (I really really hate that look) The rim is pretty scratched and beat up.

Is there any places out there that sell the wheels or am I stuck with calling the dealer and seeing how much they want to over charge? I tried SEWELL but surprise surprise, who wants the "base" wheel? lol

The original plan was to get new wheels and use these for Snow tires, but I think this gouge is going to bother me more than her.

So anyone know how much dealers want for those or where I might be able to find one?

thanks

EDIT: For reference this is the wheel

Just get the wheel repaired and refinished. They can make it look like new again for much less than the cost of a new wheel (~$100). Unfortunately, unless you go to a 7 or 7.5 inch rim, the tire is going to look stretched (225 is prettty much the largest you can put on the front).

Thanks, but the 17" wheels are not listed there, I'll keep checking to see if they ever get them though.

Yeah a friend just sent me a link to a place that does it but unfortunately they don't cover our area. So we may have to drive 2hrs to get it fixes.

thanks for the info on the tire size issue.
