Black FR500 Wheel 94-04 (17x9) at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping!
here are some black wheels with a lip, for under 600....as there are many others for under that coin.
Ouch for V_Eight.....
When I was in my mid-20’s, I had a set of centerline's on my old Fox body and fortune cookied one of them pretty good showing off in a parking long. I spun the car 180* for a quick turn around, just to have it stop abruptly when the rear passenger wheel slammed up against the curb. Not only did I screw the wheel, but I bent the axle as well.
I had them repaired, but it was never as strait as it was originally. I say for what they’re charging, screw the repair and buy new wheels. I don't mean to sound disrespectful, but you dad doesn't seem to know what he's talking about. Which is often typical of fathers really when it comes to their kids spending money on non factory, or high performance parts for their car.
Trust me....with all of the wheel manufacturers our there now, you'd be hard pressed to find one that didn't make a quality set of replacement wheels for your car.

i wonder if that 2" dent is like the OP's dent
It sounds like he didn't have the tread separation like I did.

I'm a dad...I say buy new wheels and toss the old ones. Tell your dad to call me if he gives you trouble.
Crap I found only 1 pair of black w/ chrome lip that will fit my tires i just bought
Yeah and the only pair of rims I found on americanmuscle that will fit the tires I just bought is the same pair of rims I have, just in black

What size tires did you buy? If you bought 245/45 as a stock replacement you can run those on a 17x9 wheel, i did for years without any issues.
Okay here's my new tires

They are Toyo Proxees4, 245/45/zr17
I have no idea how to find the size of my rim. How do I do that?
And btw I have been driving my new tires on these warped wheels for a few days now. Is that gonna mess up the tires?

Look on the back of the spokes or show us the wheel and we'll tell you what size it is.
And it may or may not.

Ok, so if I buy those wheels above, they'll fit the tires I have on right now? Like perfect fit?
