Broken stock wheels

Well, I dont know how it happened, but I just know its bad.
If you have been around Hartford, you know that there are more pot holes then traffic light, and we have more then enough of traffic light, so do the math.
To make the long story short, I f**** up my wheels pretty bad. there are no scratches and I never park close to the side walk. It just broke.
Here are some pictures: (cell phone)





Time for new rims.. but I was thinking about keeping these just for the winter.. Do you think this can be fixed, or I hate to buy 1 stock wheel (if anyone would ever sell just 1).

I wouldn't waste my time trying to fix that. That's pretty bad. Oh well, now you have an excuse to get some Volks or something.

I spent a lot of money on forged set of Gram light 57F, but they are worth it.
Here in NYC, they have taken plenty of abuse, lighter with no damage the past 5 years.

People sell single wheels all the time on here and ebay. Not a huge deal unless it's your only DD. Which I never could understand why people have only one car for a DD. Things break.

Are you guys serious? There is no way to fix a rim with that kind of damage, well even if there is. I would never try and mount something like that on my car.

I did this last winter.. I bought a car with messed up wheel and Town Fair Tire wouldnt install the tires with wheel like that so some guy in East Windor fixed it for me.

It is DD but I also have 09 GTS that I can drive around, but I would rather drive an Evo.

LOL, coming from one.


But I just wanna keep these for winter, and paint them lime green haha, just for he** of it.

Fixing that wheel will cost you more than buying a used set on this here forum. What the hell are you guy thinking when you suggested him to fix it?

little update.. I checked with a guy that fixes wheels and he said this can not be fixed... even if its possible, it still wont be the same.. what a shocker, right?
So, i will be just looking for stock wheel, hopefully i find just one, if not one then 2, and if not 2, then i will have to buy all 4. hopefully around CT.
In a mean time, I will be looking for some nice wheels..
so, if you f*** up your wheels like this, don't think it can be fixed.

P.S. Let me know if you got stock wheels
