Guys, I jacked up my wheels, I'm mad. are these fixable? i had a little run in with a curb and it kinda jacked up my front right wheel, or are these junk? if there junk, I need at least one or two (not sure if the back wheels jacked up) new wheels to replace these so I can avoid buying a new set of tires, but if its not avoidable...... perfect time for an upgrade!

my uncle used to have an '84 four eye, and he had some centerlines on it, i loved it, i was hoping to get a pair to match my dads car and my uncles, issue is i cant find them to save my life. dose anyone have anything their willing to part with? im based in Napa California

I'll be blunt, as fugly as those rims are it's a good time to replace them.
Your right, but as of right now i can only afford to fix or replace what i got, im strapped for cash rn and i just got new tires, (im getting my damaged ones replaced under warranty) so my best option is to get one replacement wheel till i can afford new wheels and tires, or my warranty expires and i do somthing stupid
 
Those are 4 banger wheels. Cast aluminum with a rubberized weird material on the front. They are all over the place but most people don't even try to sell them. I know I've thrown away a few sets of those. Also, looks like that control arm is pushed back on the right side.

As far as I can tell its not, the whole wheel got bent on the mounting plate, car still drives straight too, when i get a chance ill check it out better.

It also might be the angle I took the picture combined with it being blurry

Toss up a pic of the car. We can you help pick the best El-Cheapos.

You can probably find a set of 10-holes for next to nothing. :shrug:

I'll re-suggest the 10-holes if you can find a set lying around for [cheap].

You can always go bigger/wider later with the LMR repros if you start to take a liking to them. They have 15x9 through 17x9 in 4 and 5 lug now.

Nice! Ill nab a set if I can find some used with tires, I wanted to get centerlines because my dad and uncle both have and had me and I'm in love with em
 
Heres a pic of my uncles ride, I think this thing is badass and I want those Wheels maybe in 15s though so I can have a little bit more meat on my tire, according to him it was a saleen but thats what the dealer said

If they still have them and you're willing to run over to Sacramento.... :shrug:


Or Petaluma.....


But I'd be thoroughly checking everything after hitting a curb THAT hard, it's hard telling what other damage you have that you can't see outright.

From what I saw it looked like I needed to replace tie rods they weren't bent but they definitely looked super worn out and my steering feels a little bit more loose now but I do have that skinny donut on and whenever I drive through a Grove in the road it loves to follow the groove. I managed to find a wheel on eBay for 40 bucks, I'm going to have my tires warranty because I know a fella at Les Schwab, and then decide what needs to be replaced on the suspension assembly. I did want to upgrade it all anyways, just wasn't ready to yet
