Hey all.
So today I drive right through a pot hole that i cannot imagine didnt bend my rim-or worse. Far and away the worst I've driven through since I bought the car four years ago.
Anyway, at this point Im considering the rim a loss, although I havent driven it on the hghway yet to offically confirm.
My question is--is it worth buying a replacement oem rim, or should I just go aftermarket all around? I'm sure the rest of the oems are damaged to one degree or another, both from regular driving as well as curb rash. Are aftermarket rims as strong (or stronger) than the oems?
I really don't know much about wheels and so Im trying to avoid 4 replacemnt oems, if possible. Otherwise, if they're really worth the cost, I will do that.
Thanks for the opinions!
