Angry Bad day....(crash) pics

those of you who live in south florida know about the horrible weather we have been having..just the other day it seemed like i was driving through a hurricane when i was making a left turn through an intersection and spun out, hit a curb and *********** my whole passenger side up ..anyway the wheels i have on now are Tenzo R GT-5's and they are discontinued..i have two mint condition ones on the drivers side but im looking for two more to replace the passenger side which i screwed up ..i cant find them anywhere and the manufacturer says im SOL..any ideas on where i could find just two? they are 18x8 in hyperblack...thanks for any help or advice..heres some pics should get the car back in a week or so.

thanks man..and thank god there was no frame damage..just the hub was bent or something..they fixed it already and realigned it..its all in the green ...now i just gotta wait for the body work to be done..I really want the Volk GTS's but i cant afford them right now..and insurance is only going to pay $200 per wheel including shipping and installation..i paid over $200 per wheel without shipping or installation forthe Tenzo's ..so i have the TSW thruxtons on order..but i am going to put them up for sale probably on this forum because they arent what im looking for..

Looks harsh. Have you priced out wheel repair yet?

im really sorry to hear about your crash.

just keep in mind, that most of the crash stories i read on here end up better than before. just keep positive, and check into wheel repair. Its insane how much they can fix

Do you have full coverage on your insurance?
even though there was only 1 rim damaged...they're going to replace them
and since they're discontinued i have to get a set that is similar.
the closest match for mine are the Work Euroline DH and they're like 1500 more than what i payed for my old ones
thank god fur insurance

here are some picz of the repairs
i figured they were gonna work on a quarter of the car
so i might as well forkout some dough to get the rest of it touched up and fixed
it should be done my the time i get back from afghan...cant wait
GL with your repairs
