Help!!! Wife wrecked the ride....need rims/tires

Hey gang,

Sorry, I am new to the area (from CO.) and live right on the Delaware River across from Trenton NJ.

My wife took on a curb at about 50 and has managed to do a bunch of damage to the front steering and suspension parts (about $3K according to Nitti in NJ. but more on that later). and also jack up both passenger side stock wheels and tires.

Does anyone have any stockers for sale? I would like two, but don't mind buying 4. I don't want to pay dealership prices if someone semi local (within 120 miles or so) has takeoffs.

I have not gotten into the local tuning crowd and don't know how reputable some of the shops are around here. What is the impression of Nitti in NJ.? Would it be worth going to another shop (tuner shop) to have suspension work done (no body damage, just bearings struts, ball joints, knuckle, control arm, etc.) I knew all of the shops to go to in Denver, but am out of luck here.

Thanks gang...

Robert

gotta give ppl the info!...need to know, model year etc etc.

if you are looking for wrx rims, pm paisan either on here or on www.nasioc.com. he usually has stock parts lying around. if he doesn't have any, try another guy named nino. both guys are relatively close to trenton. hope this helps, good luck!

Sorry about that. I was used to the old i-club, where your profile showed on the left.

2002 WRX is the ride. Looking for the stock WRX rims. I have not gotten the quote back, but I am sure I can pick up a set of 4 take offs cheaper than the dealership is going to want to sell me one wheel and tire.

Thanks again,

Robert

P.S. What are the best shops to hit around here (I am in NYC a couple times a week and all over NJ and PA. sometimes CT. and DE)

I got some takeoffs from a MY04 WRX. They got less than 150 miles, flawless condition, drivin mostly in the rain, dealer grease still on 'em...no not that kind of grease

, and best of all I'm right by you in Philly. Only problem is that I'm on a trip and won't be back until the 21st of this month and can get em to you probably that Monday. If you can wait, make me an offer. I'm pretty sure their the same as the 02-03's. I got 17's I'm ready to mount and was looking to get rid of 'em anyways. Let me know.

BTW, I hope that wasn't your car that she trashed!
