Looking for 2 OEM wheels

Dude swerved into my lane last night as I was passing. I swerved to evade and over compensated. I lost control and ran over the median side ways. Any help would be nice.

Check craigslist, this could be good incentive to get some aftermarket ones!

eBay motors usually has good stuff too... Only downside is you can't check them out in person before buying them (Craigslist)

I'll give it a look. I wish I could afford new rims with rubber! Does anyone want to donate to my new rims fund?

I know what I want when I get some extra money lying around is the 18x10" fr500 black chrome wheels AM has! those are sick! I'd also want to get some 1" and 1.5" wheel spacers. 1" for front, 1.5" for the back. Does anyone have any experience with these? And would you recommend them?

I'm curious on spacers too. I like the hypercoated fr500 rims. Sooooo nice!

1 inch all over. I bought it with them on. I think I'm going to take them off and put 10.5 tire on the back and 9 in the front

Good call. I hate spacers. Get the wheels and tires to fill out the wheels wells. Screw spacers.

Is that what we are agreeing on? Screw spacers?

Would it be good to get spacers for the rear if you have 10.5 in the back to prevent any rubbing of the inner wheel well?

I have 17x9's on mine and the front rubs the inner fender... I wouldn't say screw the spacers just yet...

There wont be any rubbing in the rear. I have a 315 tire and there is not rubbing what so ever. The only rubbing I get is with the 275s in the front at full turn but nothing thats bad, and you would get that with spacers anyway. No, there is no need for spacers. You will see some people using them in the front to run 315's and keep it from rubbing the sway bar but otherwise you dont need them.
