i broke the FrontRight rim of my 2003 brand new wrx, only 2000+ miles on it, if anyone interested im willing to sell all four, the other three are perfect, its just the frontright thats needs some fixing.

Whoa, what'd u do, hit a curb? Try the private for sale classifieds.

Ouch! Hope you got your alignment checked after that hit.

i wasnt so fast, goin about 20-30mph then i hit the gas u know for a lil oversteer i guess it was too icy for that, well the car made a full stop after i hit the curb, i guess thats why.

yea the car pulls to the right already, only at 2500 miles

Yikes, 30 to zero with no brakes...

well i got a brand new wheel for only 180$$, my subaru dealer was asking for 320$$ for the same one. and they couldnt repair it, if it was back in Istanbul, they could repair it for the next day

we sell the OE wheels for $69.00 each

what is the OE wheels? are those the stock wrx wheels?

o.e. = original equipment
so yes..the stock wheels.

Holy crap, the same happened to me! only i didn't slow down that bad. i just hit up on the curb and the alignment is off on my car. what do i have to do to fix thtat god awfull turning to the right problem its getting bothersome.

wow thank god I am not the only one.

edit: is that bad to have a rim like that? or can we just ride with a rim with the rim scraped just like that rim????

I personally wouldn't drive around on a rim with a chunk missing like that. I don't think sharp edges contacting the tire is a good thing. Who knows, maybe you could drive around with a rim like that and not have any problems.
Take you car to a shop and get an alignment if you car is pulling to one side, that should fix it, unless you've bent something and it needs to be relaced.

oh great, how mcuh do alignments usually run? i hope under 100

i got allignment for all 4 just for 54$$ and it cost 8$ per wheel for balance, its not so bad

Another thing to consider is that a chunk missing like that can possibly lead to catastrophic failure of the wheel at high speeds. A crack can form from the damaged area.
