i just HAD to do it

gentleman i drove my 8 into a curb in the snow the other day...front passenger side wheel is bent all to hell.... , needless to say i wasnt very happy. it held air for about 2 days and sat all next week as i had no work due to snow. you can pretty much gues that yes i do have a flat. just wondering if anyone knows any shops that can repair or if some still has stock wheels and tires lying about. id hate to get rid of the ones i have but not being able to drive my 8 is killing me inside...thnx

I got stock wheels and tires. Dunlop sports 225/45/18. About 3200 miles on rims and tires. Wheels are in excellent shape. Tires are the ones that came stock with car. Pm me if your interested....
