Threads like this are why my Cayman's 19" Spyder wheels live in the garage and I drive around on 18" Kmart specials. (I mean tire rack specials)
The Kmart wheels also dropped me 5 lbs / corner (wheel and tire combined) but that's beside the point. I don't like having pothole anxiety. Just not worth it. |

I'm open to suggestions. 2 of them have rash. One is minor, the other is major (2 sets of 3-4 inch rash -- I was turning right at an intersection, and somebody decided to turn left right in front of me, so I hit the brakes and the rear passenger wheel hit the curb at speed). But its just cosmetic... I paid $1k for the current OEM 19's (turbine style) about 20 months ago, and they are on the car now -- and that is still the going price. Considering 2 of the older OEMs are damaged, how about $500?

Hm, that’s about half of what a single new wheel is going to cost. But I’d need new tires. Let me think about it.

That’s kind of low. PSI sticker on the car says to inflate the 19s to 42!
