i wish it was just that simple!! the wheel came off the car. the studs ate the holes up. dont know if its is fixable. sucks cuz the rim looks fine, no damage, jsut the hole the studs go in. any advice would be great!!!!!

We had the worst luck with HP too, they had to warranty out 4 wheels, because the polished lip is an overlay and dents real easy and the main guy there doesnt know anything about customer service...so I went with the TSW, and they have been great and are the same price

i would see about gettting it fixed and then rechromed, if that is the finish i am sure you can have the holes bored out and just use larger studs?? I just got my curb rash taken out at a local place around here for $50 a wheel,without taking the tire off the rim. Or just look on eby classifieds, for a set of rims and then replace. good luk and let us know how you make out.

i jumped a curb and messed up one of my rims up pretty bad. it actually cracked and raised up. took it to a local rim shop and they fixed it nicely. but like u said, these rims do damage easily. the other rim was bent also. a buddy of mine took a pic of it. im gonna see if i can find it.
