On Sunday I got screwed by a curb and annihilated one rim and bent another one up pretty good, and ripped up the sidewall on one of my new Goodyear Nordics. Yesterday I managed to track down a pair of used Goodyear Nordics with a date code of 2008, and with about 8-9/32" of tread left, the add was asking $150 for the two, I got them both for $120. Looking around for Rims now, I was trying to track down some factory replacements, I found some replica rims for $400 a piece, or I could get some used ones for $300 each. I went into Canadian tire yesterday looking at the Alloys they had and I picked up a set of 4 Sacchi Rims for $110 each, when I went to pay for them, they rung up as $100 each and a pack of centering rings for $7. So my total thus far is roughly $530. I know I have some suspension damage as I can clearly see my caster is out, and with a car with no caster adjustment something had to move that wasn't supposed to move. I'll set it up on the alignment rack tonight after I get the rubber on the rims and take a look at the alignment results to see whats bent out of shape, best case scenario, control arm, since I have to remove them anyways to redo the bushing that have rotted apart. Worst case, the cradle is bent or the car itself is bent (I've seen that before). Anyways, here are some pictures of what I'm putting on the car.
The car with said damage - the non damaged side, the other side is damaged, but nothing visual
The new Rims- 16x7" the same size as whats on there now.
