Default Advice on wheels

Hi.

Wanting some help, got a subaru wrx 03 plate with genuine speedline corse turini 18" rally alloys, unfortunately my partner hit a patch of black ice and landed in a ditch.
Luckily there's not much damage... Except one wheel with a huge chunk taken out of it
I can't seem to find another like it anywhere that is within our price range. Would you think we'd be better off selling the remaining 3 to fund a full set of different alloys or keep and carry on searching?

it really depends on the extent of the damage. Can you post a pic, the damage may be repairable.

if you are unable to find another I would, as you suggested sell the three you have and buy another set of wheels.

I'm glad it's just the wheel a few scratches and a side skirt that which looks like it went through a grinder even hit a tree with back end but no dents or scratches on bumper.
I can guarantee our old audi would have been a mangled mess.

You got any advice on pricing the remaining 3, the curb mark on the last is the only damage

Have you tried looking on eBay or alike for an odd rim to replace your damaged one?, worth a shot haps, if not see what the average price is for a set of 4 and knock off a quarter regarding pricing up your 3, just an option maybe.

If the tyres have more than 4mm tread i would ask £150 for the ones in good condition and £100 for the one with rash.

Don't forget eBay has a £1 listing day today
