Need help in Chicago area; left front rim is damaged
I need one rim 1994 left front sawblade. It doesnt need to be perfect, just needs to be round. I went to discount tire to get new front tire after hitting a pothole and found out the rim is now out of round. I am rolling on the old rim and it is terrible.
I will buy, barter, etc. for the rim, tire or not. Heck I will buy two front rims if needed. I am in the Chicago suburbs and need this asap.
I have given away a number of parts here on the forum, (tape deck, interior door pieces, PKE sensor, Chime box), along with other forums, and looking for it to be payed forward.
Any other thoughts? I have searched eb(*^y but would rather deal with this forum.

Vette2Vette is not too far from La Grange, they are in Streator, IL. Give Jay a call at (815) 673-6200. He should be able to provide you with a single wheel.

Try a shop that refinishes/repairs alloy wheels. They should be able to repair yours for $100 or so - assuming it's not too badly damaged. I'm surprised the tire shop didn't suggest this to you.

repairs really are okay. Shops today do a great job of mending the alloy wheels. I don't know how much time you have waiting on finding a specific wheel, but if you'd ahve dropped it off at a shop, left a good tip, you'd probably have your wheel back by tomorrow morning.
