I generally like to buy good condition original OEM used wheel(s) and try to stay away from "refurbished" wheels as the paint doesn't exactly match the OEM if it's been repainted as well. It's not a problem though if replacing whole set or even one side.

 

your not kidding! refurbishing is one thing!,very few places can correct a bent wheel the right way,sorry but there is no way around that,if you cant afford a new wheel then you bought the wrong car,plain and simple! dont get me wrong im also looking for ways to save some $ but when it comes to wheels and tires you shouldnt skimp,any reputable place would suggest a replacement if the wheel is damaged that bad.New wheels are expensive! no wonder all of a sudden in the last few years there are alot of wheel refurbishing companys,im not saying that some of these places dont do real or quality work,but beware it wont be cheap,and if it seems likes it is its to good to be true....good luck

 

Man, How about we see how it looks before drawing conclusions lol
Its a $1700 wheel new. No way in hell I'd spend that on one wheel on a 15 year old car I only plan to keep a year or two lol
If it was a 993 Turbo or something I could see your point. I have 4 cars and a motorcycle and I have to keep myself in check on putting too much money into this thing
I've had it about a month and I already dropped money on Smarttop, Spacers, Tint, Appradio 4, H&R Springs, and New Michelin Tires today so its not like I'm being cheap lol

 

Buying a new wheel would be foolish IMO but buying a used oem wheel in like new condition for $250 wouldn't be.

 

So I should just run the car with 3 wheels on it?
