anyone know the stock size? for some reason i cant remember if the wheels are 9" wide or 9.5" wide?

OR where i can just purchase an oem replacement.. i know they are slp wheels but i cant seem to find a place that sells the originals..

on rt9? i saw you i was going the opposite way in my girlfriend chrysler camaro aka sebring. your rims were shinny as hell. i hit a huge pot hole too, im not sure if it bent the rim or not. it seemed to shimmy a bit on the highway but i think it always did that. idk oh well it wasnt my car lol

Lol yeah my suspension is fine but yhe lip to my rim got flattened.. Apparently you risk breaking it if you try to bend it back? Any truth to that?

sort of works on the principle of bending a paperclip back and forth, each time it gets weaker and weaker, and sacrificing structural integrity isn't something most people would want to risk on wheels

on the other hand my friend bent a rim on his car, hammered it straight again, and never had a problem

So you think it would be worse to dive with it bent? Or see if it can be repaired... I wouldn't hit it with a hammer but i saw online some company alloy wheel Repair specialist... Apparently they fix them? And they have places in nj
