This.

I got quoted $150 to repair a curbed 17x7.5 Rota that costed $140. Even for 18x8 it's not that worth it since you have to unmount your current tire.

yes but it can be a real annoyance if the suby is your only car and you have to you know, drive it with 3 wheels!

I guess you could use the spare tire or the stock wheels if you still have them.
