i freaking hit a BRICK in the highway!! how the hell are there BRICKS on highways. i was doing 80 on the left lane. i saw the bricks coming up, there were 3 of them, had a second to react, there was a car on the right and i didn't want to throw the car in the shoulder going 80. so i tired to go between the bricks, but no luck. all the damage happened on the front right tire and rim. its pretty bent. my mechanic estimated about $150 to get it fix, if they can.

ok thanks for reading the long intro. btw i needed to change my tires by the end of the summer. i have stock rims and have falkens 205-50-15's v-rated tires. my options are:

fix the rim/buy one from the junk yard....no more than $150 and buy a set of kuhmo tires since imma change them anyways $300 mounted. total $450

my uncle might get me some rotas in the philippines its about $250-$300 there. i was looking at 16 in. subzeros and mount some kumho for $375. total $625-$675

last buy the rotas at groupbuycenter same rims and tires mountated for: $875

i should know if my tito (uncle) can hook me up by this weekend. he's coming over next week.

so what should i do!?!?!?! money is kinda tight, but im graduating and i already told me friends to return what ever they got me and give me the money. its kinda shallow but....... i need the money more to get out of this jam.

thanks for reading

 

I would do this but I would assume shipping would be costly and will take time. If someone is travelling from the Phil. then it would be cheaper but I doubt they will be willing to give up 1 and 1/2 their baggage allowance. For international, the limit is 75 lbs per baggage or box (2 baggages).

And each time I travel to China, Singapore, PI, etc. there is ALWAYS one of two passengers who will hold up the line, be set aside to unload some weight because they went pass the limit.

 

actually they have 2 kids so that entitle them for 4 more boxes. so that's not a problem.
