Soooo I was coming home after work and got just a little too close to the edge (on a back road) and got pulled into a ditch with pavement jutting out at the end. Basically like driving full speed into a curb. 🀦🀦🀦 Front passenger rim is the bad one in the pics, rear passenger rim got dented but didn't lose air pressure, so thankfully I was able to limp home with just the one spare.

Gonna need two replacement wheels at least... Anybody got any wheels or sets of wheels they're looking to sell? Thanks

I'd check your tie rod, it may be bent. Also, wheel bearing could be damaged.

Where are you located? I have a set (6) of OZ Leggenda and flawless Rado Grey OEM (4) wheels for sale but local only to Atlanta. I was planning to list them this week.

The six OX wheels are 17x7 et42

Same thing happened to me a few months ago except I was pushed over to the side and hit a huge rock , from a truck pulling a trailer swinging side to side.

Tie-rod, control arm and rack and pinion mounts should face an inspection.
I guess there's a good side to aluminum wheels after all.
They absorb much of the damage as opposed to your steering and suspension components.
On steel wheels that probably would've damaged at least one of the aforementioned parts.

There may be a similar service for your area. Yeah it may cost just as much to fix'em but it's also keep'n a little more pocket change in the local economy.

A bit far for me I'm in NC. I appreciate it though! Thanks

I definitely hear you guys about the possible damage to suspension/steering components. Something I'm worried about myself. I'll be getting it up on the ramps here soon to give it a thorough inspection. At the very least, the alignment felt good driving it home after the accident, so I'm hopeful nothing is damaged. Keep your fingers crossed...
