rims
does anyone know where i can get some cheep rims that will work for the svx in the bellingham area, or maybe online or someone close... cause i just need something that will fit to keep my car going at little expensive as possible, i drive 50 miles to work every day and i found out there is a crack in one of the 18 in rims(so it keeps leaking air and i don't know how much the rim willl hold up) that i have and cant afford to buy rims like that right now to put my tires on.... so i need to find some cheep rims and tires for the time being
any good ideas thanks for the read |

I had a crack in a rim they repaired and it never leaked again they did a good job there was no imbalance on the rim after either. I was happy cost was maybe $50 but that will depend on where you go. |

Re: rims

Re: rims
It depends on the shop. Most wheel repair shops will be able to fix a bent rim. Cracked, not always.

Re: rims
How to find one: "wheel repair shop" and your city. Local = win, because shipping wheels is expensive.
