broke a wheel
I hit a pot hole Sat night, blew the front passenger tire, when I went to change the tire found the wheel was bent, I contacted the dealer for a replacement wheel, they quoted me $920 in sliver, not even chrome. I ended up ordering a new set of 4 chrome wheels from an aftermarket supplier for $825, delivered to my door.
