: Busted rim and sliced tire. How much ?

THX1138 · 13th January 2008, 14:27

Couple of days ago I was leaving a parking deck and just before I took the downslope ramp I hit the right sidecurb. Made a huge dent in my rightfront rim and even sliced part of the tire sidewall.
I also scraped the curb against the front-lip. I pressed it back in. Most of the damage for that is on the bottom. Just needs a little paint touchup. I'm not gonna replace the lip and wheelarch trim.

Dealer told me the tire can be driven, but not too long. So that needs replacing. And I also want to replace the rim.
Bridgestone Potenza 18" will costs me € 291,- and the rim is a whopping €435,-

Are these prices about what to expect ?

Which rim do you have?

Sorry to hear of your bad luck hope you sort every thing out soon.

Ouch. Those prices seem very high relative to the UK, it may be worth shopping around for a better deal.

The standard 18" you get on the Type-R

Did some online tire-searching. I can get the Potenza's for about €140-160 online. Probably due to high volume discounts.
But I doubt it if I can get the price of the 18" rim to go any lower, or be able to get it anywhere else at all.
