wrecked my car

[StuartJoyce]

hey guys,
i dont have the best luck. Tongiht i was on my way home with my girlfriend, and dropped my cell phone, and bent down to grab it, when i swirved to the right, i hit the curb at about 50mph, i busted and bent the front right wheel all to pieces, knocked out the front fog light, cracked the front bumber, and busted and blew the back tire. I was wondering if any of you out there knew where i could get some cheap wheels and tires to replace them, i have a 96 bmw 328is. With the sport package. I think i just want to buy a new set of wheels and tires, instead of buying just those two. Please help!

Man, sorry to hear!

Glad you're ok, but have that front end checked out when you have the chance, you may have bent a tie rod as well.

There is a place that's been posting in the classifieds. I haven't delt with them, but I haven't heard a complaint so far.

I used to deal with Vines in Georgia when I lived in Tenessee, but I have read a negative report about them in the last couple of months.

Ebay is always a good place to look for wheels. Just check out who you are buyuing from.

Sucks Stuart...wheelmax.com usually offer some good prices, I too would go aftermarket rather than getting OEM replacements.

hey guys, thanks for helping me out. Your information ,as always, is very helpful. I wanted to get different wheels before this incident anyways, so it kinda turned out alright. i have decided on M contour wheels, with SUMITOMO HTRZ - 245/40/ZR17. Hopefully i can win the bid at $510. The seller on ebay says they are in great condition. Is this price about right? The tires look brand new in the pictures, and still have the paint or maker on the rubber. Are these good wheels, does anyone know the weight? What about the tires? Thanks again for your help!

Hey that's tough buddy. I drank 3 bottles of Californian wine and then tried to do a corner at 50mph. I succeeded but unfortunately there was a garbage truck doing the trash from Old Trafford football ground and 24 hour open-air toilet and I went straight in. Nothing left.

What pissed me off was that the garbage truck still worked!

$510 is cheap for contours w/tires,replicas or not.
