Check out oe wheels. you can't beat the quality or price. You can get all 4 wheels for 600 or less depending on what you want. I just bought c5dd polished 17x9.5 fronts and 18x10.5 rears for around $500 plus shipping. I just recieved them today and I am very impressed with them.

We were able to drive the car home on the spare and one tire held air. so we drove it the half mile to my house and I followed and nothing appeared to be wrong except that the two right side rims are messed up.

Our idea right now is to buy two stock replacement wheels and two new tires, unless we can find a good deal on some wheel+tire combinations.

He didn't really explain what happened in the topic though. What happened was it was really wet and the tires were bald and so when we were leaving and slid and hit a curb and the tires fell off the wheels and cracked alot of the wheel off on the front passenger and not as much on the back rear.

Where you located? I have a set of wheels off of my 2000 WS6 that I might be willing to part with. They have a set of Sumitomo tires on them at the moment with around 50% life left. PM me if you want.
