Ok. I hit a river rock some time ago and have since replaced tires as the damage was not great enouhg (it seemed) to warrant getting new wheels since $$ is always tight. The wheels I have now are 18" Niche Shock wrapped in Toyo 275/35/18s. Months go by and NOW the tire will not hold air. I took off the wheel to take it in to get checked and upon doing so saw that the dent in the rim looked a bit more worrisome than before. My question. . should I or is it even a possibility to fix the rim and how costly. . .OR. . . purchase what i have been lookin at all day today which is:
Boss(chrome) wheels - Series # 304 18x8 Found em on ebay for $800.00.
My other dilemma or question if you will is that the tire shop has a hell of a time putting on the 275/35s on a 8.5 wheel. So do i need the extra rubber for daily driving?? My thought is if I go ahead and get the new wheels. . .to wrap em in:
Sumitomo HTR ZII 245/40/18s Found em on Tire Rack for $100.00 a piece.
One last question....what do ya think bout this tire/wheel combo look for my ride?
