Traffic was backed up to an intersection, so i didnt block it. a lady was turning left, so i waved her on. she stayed there. the traffic started to move so i decided to go. at that point so did she. And she ran right into the right rear smack dab into my wheel. I've gone through 5 pages of google and a phone call with Vivid Racing to no avail.

Damn man! They stopped making that color? I'd hate to say it but you may have to buy another color and have it repainted to match, if possible. Only cheap alternative to buying a whole new set in a different color. Good luck with your search man!

Case in point why I never wave people on... No good deed goes unpunished...

Sorry for the crappy outcome, but insurance insurance insurance. Do you have receipts for the wheels? If you can get a formal letter from Volk or Vivid stating the wheels are no longer available that might help with the claim.

Good luck

if all else fails, get all 4 wheels repainted/powdercoated to match.
