Rep Power: 0 ull have a hell of wheel gap with stock suspension on 17s..looks kinda funny......look around your area for people that repair rims, i know theres like 4 or 5 places in my area that do them for like $40 a rim, and they come out perfect

I think i was quoted $150 to fix my 18s by a shop in north hollywood. I can buy new ones for a little bit more.

Rep Power: 0 If you get them fixed. They will get bent again over time. Best policy is to get quality (name brand) and realistic size (17" or less) wheels. Any larger, you will not have enough rubber to absorbe the impact shocks of potholes and dips on the road during normal driving conditions.
