I really love these original rims but I really don't want to drop the 2k+ to get the two rims replaced. What rims are you guys running and what would you recommend? I want to keep the original look as best as I can, don't want anything too crazy or flashy.

Any and all help is appreciated, thanks!

Pictures: Imgur First picture is the chunk of wood I hit and the second is my car being prepped for towing.
I see sets of OEM wheels for sale all the time on craigslist. I would also take a good look at the undercarriage of tyhe car. That big a piece of wood could have done some serious damage.

Make a claim with your ins co if you have collission.

I prefer to stay with OEM wheels when possible, shop around online for replacements for your set. I believe I saw one for your set on E-bay last week while I was buying a backup spare for my Box.

OEM wheels

Napalm,

You may want to consider an OEM Cayman wheel set

Panjo Marketplace


The price is right and not too far from you.

PS: I am not related to the seller
