I had to buy a new PS2 for my right front rim. When they went to balance the wheel, they noticed that the rim is bent on the inside lip.

Any insight as to a good place to buy a new rim? Tirerack wants $549 for one. Before I buy it at that price, I'll take the wheel to a wheel repair shop (Wheels America) and let them try to fix it.

Does anyone have a friendly dealer/supplier that might make it worthwhile to just order a new rim?

Thanks.

I've got an extra E55 front rim in my garage, but I'll have to go out and check what sizing is on it. The rims are identical front and rear, right? It currently has a brand new Continental constisport whatever (stock tire) and I'd be willing to part with it for less than what tire rack wants.

It's easy to fix the rim but I'm finding out the repair shops can't match the paint. Even the dealer's body shop just buys new rims instead of refinishing them.

BTW, the E55 front and rears rims are different sizes.

The front rim will have a "8 J" designation cast into it, and the rear a "9 J"

Let me go check, I'll be right back with answers. I'm willing to make a great deal for you though, cause I have no use for it anymore. If it is the right size, ill be in touch.

EDIT: it IS a front wheel, with 245 rubber in the stock sizes. It is basically brand new, if youre interested, I could snap a few pics and put them on here. We'll work on a deal, but hows $400-$450ish?
