Default Stuck in Socal, need help

Out in Socal for the Holidays and I just curbed my Type R. Right rear rim took all the force. Rim is toast along with whatever susepension can be bent. Never messed with a Honda before. I need a rim and probably a lower control or other parts. Maybe a shop that can install it. Car is stuck in Burbank. Please help. Need to get home to Arizona and can't be stuck here.

There should be a few So Cal ITR folks that will probably lend you a hand. Hope you get it all worked out.

Finding control arms and stuff shoudn't be hard. Find a rim is a pain. I'm willing to buy a set of rims if I can find a used set in socal, but no luck so far.

2 gunmetal ones wouldn't look too good with 2 white ones.

Better than 3 CW ones with 1 small spare

Plus you can throw drag radials on the 2 GM ones.

I rather just spend $500-800 on a full set of aftermarket rims. Thanks for looking though.

Anyone know a good honda shop in the area? So far I've had no luck. Someone has to know where to get parts, have a parts car, or something.

Yep, still screwed. One friend told me to take it to Power Acura, that they are pretty good.

Found a place to get rims. Now I just need parts. Anyone know of place that would have that stuff in stock? A junkyard or something? If not, where would be the cheapest place to order them? Do they make aftermarket lower control arms for the rear?
