Default WTB or borrow: at least 1 cheap wheel in Ottawa/Montreal area

I am officially unlucky. Was driving down the 417 and hit a 2 x 4 at 120km/h bending both wheels on the passenger side. I need at least 1 wheel that will fit over a big red caliper, I can use my spare on the other while the bent wheels are getting fixed. Thanks!

Not the HREs!
Nick, I don't think I have anything that will clear your brakes that isn't already holding up my car, or I would drop it off in Ottawa this weekend.
Sorry to hear about the bad luck!

Thanks for your concern Charlie! These are aftermarket wheels, I'm actually quite happy considering the extent of the impact. I found another spare tire so I'm going to put 2 spare tires out back and put the rear rim up front to clear the big red.

Seriously bad luck. Two very rare "incidents". That kind of impact would certainly scare the bajeezers out of you!

Hope you get it sorted out!

Scott.

I've got a full set of 8 + 10 x 18 wheels that I'm selling pretty cheap at $800. Not sure offset will work but you can msg me if you need specs. I'm in Ottawa and can mount and balance tires for you too.

Thanks for the offer atr, this happened right before exit 138 westbound. It hit pretty hard but I think the damage is limited to the wheels. Anyone got an old spare tire I can borrow in Ottawa? It would save me the trip back to my parts bin in Montreal.

Avrum, I usually use exact roues but I may check your guy out.
