Some nice dents and wheel damage

Anyone know where I can get a right rear wheel? And has anyone had any experience getting this type of dent fixed?

Sorry the pictures are a little blurry.

Mazmart. www.mazmart.com

They are based out of atlanta and have just about any part you could want for your rx-8. Best bet with the dent is to take it to a body shop and see if they can pull it. No guarantees. Would look into getting new.

How did the damage happen? Anyway, I wouldn't sweat the wheel unless there's a loss of structural integrity that doesn't show in the photo--just get some Sunlight Silver touch-up paint, cover it up and forget it. You will almost certainly grind the wheel again parallel parking or whatever, so the touch-up paint will be handy to have.

It happened when a lady tried to run me off the road and I hit a very sharp corner of a driveway.

The body dents happened when I misjudged moving between to opposite sides of traffic when the lady on the right stopped short.

Also check out the Buy/Sell forums on this website. You may find a single wheel for sale for cheaper than new.
