Replace one old or get 4 new?
Replace one old or get 4 new? As you can see in the picture of my car, my rear drivers side rim is bent and makes the most annoying noise driving down the road, at just about any mph. The hardest part of this decision is that everyone loves these rims and its my number 1 complement that I get for my car. So, should I buy a new rim for ~$190 or get a new set of 4 C6 Z06 replicas for ~$500?

I've talked to some guys that do a really good job fixing rims and they quoted me 150, would rather buy a brand new one. The only thing that will suck is getting rid of the damaged one, I figure it would be hard to sell 1 bent rim...

I say replace the one! Not very common on your car, Looks great. Easy to get rid of wheel, take it to the local scrap yard and get rid of it for scrap aluminum prices. Most places around here will give you $20 for a wheel. They dont usually weigh wheels like they would other aluminum scrap.
The wheels look good, another vote for replacing just one wheel but is that pic with them cleaned up well? I'd love to see em with some nice tire shine! That pic just says, it's missing something....
