busted up my pops ss today

[broken_joke]

going to school this morning and wasn't doing anything out of the ordinary. i was behind 3 other cars and i saw them swerve but didn't realize till it was to late. me and 2 or 3 or cars ran over a cylinder head in the road and i busted 2 tires and broke 2 rims. this is my dads car so i felt extra bad about it. i called the dealer to price rims. 550 bucks for one rim. there goes my mods for a couple of months.

Ebay dude, You can get stocker SS rims for like 150 a piece...

Insurance?

 

[Caldwell]

Yeah man, I'd hate to say it but this sounds like a classic case of a dealership RIPPING YOU OFF!

I would do anything than buy off of them.
Hell I'd build a rim before going there.

The only thing a dealership is good for is a warranty, and even then they still suck.

i saw some on ebay trying to convince him on something different. maybe i'll find some stocker replicas?

tell him it's all an overhaulin thing, that should buy you another week to get on ebay and get some one off Foose wheels

 

[broken_joke]

i found 2 sets he might be interested in. one is a set off an 02 ss and one is new and zr-1 style with an 11 rear rim. i still gotta buy some tires eagle f-1s,luckily pops has road protection on them so it might cost 100 a tire from what my dads friend at the tire shop said?

 

[broken_joke]

anyone know how you rotate tires that are different size fro example 275 in front and 295 in rear?

That's what I was wondering? That would suck to loose that while driving down the street

 

[69clark]

I had the same thought, think about the guy who lost it, he is probably driving all over looking for it. LOL

You should have got a police report. That is considered a crash and insurance will cover it. Of course you'd have to pay the deductible.

 

[Blackened302]

insurance!!! if not, ebay (even if they are just replicas).

Dealership

wheelreplicas.com, good quality low priced stuff man.

I've seen new chrome zr1's on ebay for $800 and that includes tires. I think it's AFS that makes them.

Yea debris is real bad around here. We got you run of the mill cylinder heads and pistons too. But sometimes you'll see a crankshaft or a transmission laying in the road.

That's crazy. I didn't pay much more than that for 4 new wheels from TireRack - for what they want for 1 crappy factory wheel. Definitely look at an aftermarket set. You could even buy him up a step or two and still be well below the $1100 you be in at the dealer. Hell, you could do 4 new wheels and 4 new tires for that price.

We just have roadside furniture. I think the "locals" wanted more rest areas ....
