Default I really want new wheels...

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/52748/flik-tdrs-f-230.jpg"></center><p>my stock wheels were scratched beyond belief when i got into as accident, and it just seems stupid to pay 800 bucks for refinished wheels when for a little more i can get new wheels. However because of all the otehr repairs i have to do to the car i really can afford to go too high right now. This may sound stupid, but i really dont want to spend anymore than $1150 on wheels and tires. I was looking at the Flik TDR's but i dont know if they are strong enough for everyday street use. If anyone has any suggestions id appreciate it.

Id really like something with that kind of style.

Default what sizes are you looking at?

$1150 is a squeeze even in 17" though ... why would it cost $800 just to get some wheels refinished?

Default I dont think going over 17 is a good idea for me...

and apparently thats what audi charges to have all 4 wheels refurbished. I just cant justify doing that so i want to get a new set and then use my F***ed up stocks for winter wheels. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks

Default it;'s $150 per wheel for straightening/ixing lips and paint

where I have gone....i'd prolly get new wheels too if they were less than $250 new.
