guys, had my recent issue with having my windshield replaced but now i have a front cracked rim! got new rubber put on for winter at discount tire and they showed me that my driver side front rim has a crack on the inside of the rim. discount got me a replacement rim but it was the silver not the graphite finish mine are. does anyone know of any companies that sell exact replacement rims in the graphite finish? also is the front rim 45mm offset or 50mm?

thanks for the help.

 

The crack come from them doing the work or was always there? Get Discount Tires to get you an exact replacement... unless it had nothing to do with them and they were doing it just to be nice and it wasn't under their warranty policy.

 

the crack is from one of the million pot holes here in the chicago area! they pulled the old tire off and then they saw it. discount's vendor for replacement rims doesn't carry the graphite/hyper silver finish rims. i've been checking the FS section and ebay. just curious if anyone had a source online to order from?

 

Best bet and the cheapest is to have a local shop re-finish it in the same color...

 

Man, sorry to hear about the crack. Try to Google for some places on the web that sell replacement wheel. Also, check craigslists.

 

Both my front OEM 18s were cracked. They seem to be somewhat fragile. Don't bother getting them fixed. I got a set of aftermarket wheels and no more problems. I hit several pot hole that were much worse then the ones that cracked the OEM wheels and no damage at all.
