Cheapest place to get one C7 Wheel
While the F*** keyed my car, they also damaged the wheel. It looks like it was hit with some sort of metal objet. Needless to say, I am in need of one C7 wheel. Does anyone know where I can pick one up cheap. I know Clair.com has them for 300, but I was hoping to find one for a bit less.

I hear that in parts of Jersey, you can just exchange a milk crate for a wheel of your choice. I observed a young couple doing so when I lived in that neck of the woods.

Actually I had my C7 wheel damaged recently. No idea what happened, but it's badly scratched and the finish is peeling off in big pieces.
Today dropped off the wheel at a refinishing place recommended by the dealer. Should be repaired as good as new (fingers crossed) for about 100USD.
Driving on the spare-donut for now.

Viper, I love the Canadian attitude....I've visited about 5 times and its a different world there (for the BETTER).
For a change, it seems everyone is nice and has a good attitude !!
I bet its huge shock when you come to the U.S. and see some of the attitudes of some people here. I'm regularly appalled at idiots throwing trash out of their car windows and don't even care if people are staring at them while they do it...!!
I'm proud to be an american, but some people's attitudes just stink in the U.S. (versus Canadian).

This sounds like a good idea. Otherwise, $300 is probably a LOT less than an MB dealer would charge.

The U.S. looks good compared to Australia. There, people put their cigs out in the street and throw the pack on the floor. It was as much a contrast to the U.S. for the worse than Canada is for the better. And their driving manners are worse. I rammed one guy because he was rude and blocked my driveway as I was backing up to get out and left his car there with his wife waiting. He didn't think I'ld do it but he hasn't lived in N.Y. before. He called me a Yank, is that bad?

Sorry, wasn't inferring it was.
Sounded more purposeful in your initial description.
For now, hating jerks is not a crime,
but legislation is in the works to protect jerks from discrimination and angry drivers.
