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!

I had a bent rim on one of my front turbo twists. You can actually get buckled rims straightened, and although I was a bit doubtful, it's come out perfect. Cost me $100, which is a hell of a lot cheaper than a new wheel would have cost me.

I would think I was looking at my car.
Those are the Sport Design wheel option
I do see them on various used websites, so they are out there
I guess you will need a full set of 4 tires now
Those are 2 piece wheels and supposedly you can buy just the ring piece if that was only part bent.
But I have never seen just that outside piece for sale separately thought. Even from BBS, the mfg
