well just had a an awesome time tonight:disgusted

lost controll of the car because of debris on the road and had to do some moves to keep the car from going of the road, ended up slamming the front drivers wheel into the left side of the roads gutter at about 15km/h, i'm all ok, cars fine except the wheel lost about 20cmx5cm of it and i em running the spare, which is same wheel except 225 tyre instead of 235.

to my point, how much does it cost for 1 wheel, its the 17inch 6 spoke wheels that came with the GTV (look at profile for pic). just after rough estimates, wasn't sure because mitsu would probably charge a hell of a lot for them, and if its not cheap i won't bother yet because i am getting new wheels soon.

have only 3rd party btw

thanks!

you might have done abit more damage than you think
you will see it when your car goes in for an alignment
if your worried about two different sized wheels at the front than swap it with on off the rear
as for the cost of a tyre shouldnt cost more than $200
