Cheap 19" Rims While I Get My DPEs repaired?
Any suggestions on some inexpensive 19" rims while I send my DPEs off to get repaired?

AT&T is paying to fix one that has a bend and I want to get two more with curb rash fixed as well. So these impromptu rims will be on while this happens.

Nothing that will get me killed though please.

How did you get AT&T to fix your rims? WTF? Were you talking on the phone and not paying attention, bent one, and then hired a really good lawyer...jk.

Maybe see if someone local who has aftermarket wheels can loan you their stockers while you get your wheels worked on?

The manhole cover that was a good six inches below the street level turned out to be AT&T's.

Apparently I was not alone in filing claims...felt like my whole front end crashed...was amazed only my front driver rim was bent from the ordeal.

2004 E55 Silver Pewter Metallic
I have a set of 19" S550 sport replicas that I am looking to get rid of. I had a similar situation on the highway and a strip of metal laying across 2 lanes. At any rate 2 of the wheels cracked and were repaired by a wheel shop. I have been driving on them with no leaks or isuess. I just purchased a new set of wheels and they are just taking up space in my garage. Let me know if you are interested and I will send you pics of them. I want $400 for them negotiable.
