***Cliff Notes: Hit a big chunk of concrete on the freeway and bent a wheel, so I need (at least 2) preferably cheap steelies/OEM wheels with decent tires to roll on while I have my wheel repaired****

Hi all,
As most locals in the San Jose/Santa Clara/Sunnyvale area are probably aware of, CalTrans has been repaving sections of Highway 101 at night. Last night, after going through several detours for about 20 minutes, I was happy to finally be able to get onto 101 after leaving the golf course. Shortly after, I noticed the SUV in front of me swerve wildly, and then I saw the reason. There was a large chunk of what I assume was concrete(it was white/light grey and about a foot and a half to two feet long) laying across half the lane. I tried to avoid it, but my front driver side wheel hit it pretty square and shook the entire car. It must have been pretty hard to avoid because after I hit it, I saw literally 20-30 cars lined up on the right side of 101 North changing their tires or waiting for tow trucks/roadside assistance.

Anyway, enough with story time, I'm looking for (at least) a pair of either stock steel or alloy wheels to roll on while I have my bent wheel repaired. They need to be 4x100 lug pattern, and preferably at least 14" in diameter to clear 10.3"(EX/Si Civic, non-R Integra sized) Honda brakes. The tires should preferably be matching and need to be at least drivable, but the more tread the better. I would also prefer something close to OEM tire sizes. 185/60-14, 185/65-14, 195/55-15, 205/50-15 would be some examples. I only really need a pair to roll on, but if you don't want to break up a set, I don't mind taking a set of 3 or 4 if the price is right. Ideally, I would like to find wheels/tires somewhere close to the San Jose/Santa Clara/Sunnyvale/Milpitas area. If you think you have what I'm looking for, post it up here with your pricing. Alternatively, you can also PM me or email me at inspyral@aol.com. You can also take a look at the for sale thread in my sig and see if there's any trade potential there. Thanks for your time.

Here's a bonus pic of the damage:

It doesn't look that bad from this angle, but the bend sticks out a good 1/2 to 5/8" and there's a matching bend on the inside lip. The wheel probably would have cracked or broke if it wasn't forged. :\

PS: If anyone has any information on a reputable wheel repair shop in the Bay Area that does good work for a reasonable price, I would appreciate any leads. So far, Wheel Techniques in Santa Clara wants $200-260 to reform and refinish the wheel(they're worried about matching the color and may need to special order paint materials). I've also been to Wheels America in Hayward, and they say they most likely won't be able to match the color, but they'd charge a flat rate of about $140 if they did it. From the looks of the damage, I'm guessing the original finish is either anodized or powder coated since it shows some stress marks, but none of the color is chipping or flaking, so I can see how it'd be hard to match it if they have to paint it.

 

i have a set (2) of 14" steel wheel with decent tires thread left. i'll give you the tire size tomorrow along with photos. $50/both. let me know.
thanks
