I hit a pothole and took a chunk out of my S Class 17" 220 rim, its about a 2X4 section of rim that was taken out from the lip. Where can I purchase a new or used rim for a reasonable price? Can I also get the rim fixed, or is it not safe? I already put the spare on because I don't feel the car is safe to drive on such a rim. Its from a 2003 S500 4-matic. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Im surprised the rim actually got messed up!

 

A dented rim can be fixed -- look up automotive, wheel section of yellow pages or call up some dealer/body shop to find a wheel repair shop.

For used rims, you'll have to look up yellow pages to find a collision parts warehouse or junk yard. It's much harder to find since yours is a pretty new model. I would call dealers to see if one has any take off rims (practically new) for cheap.

Otherwise, call up tirerack to see if they have a new one for less than dealer. Worse case, use insurance and pay the deductible.

 

2500$ max because you can get a whole set of rims AND tires brand new!

 

Just look on eBay; there probably are plenty there because a lot of people immediatly buy new rims for their cars.

 

Must have been some pothole to wreck a 17 incher! Where do you live Tijuana?

I believe that they are replicas, though, not OEM.
