well i still have my set of those....but i think 1 or 2 might be bent....is there an easy way to check it without paying? if so i can pull the tires at some point and see?

..is there an easy way to check it without paying?

Jack up a back corner of the car and mount one of the wheels you want to test on it, preferably without the tire. Then spin it as fast as you can by hand, let go and look for motion on the edge of the rim. If the wheel is bent you will see the edge of the rim move around, if it is straight, it will be steady. In other words, just test it like you would a bicycle rim. However, don't stick your head under the car to get closer to the rim unless the car is on jack stands. It helps to have something immobile next to the spinning rim as a visual reference, for instance, put a couple of cinder blocks next to it and tape a pencil on as a "pointer". You can tape a small mirror there too to get a better angle if the car is just up on a jack. If you have to do this with the tire on, place the pencil tip as close as you can to the outermost edge of the visible part of the rim.

I just bought 2 refinished rims for $100 apiece and with free shipping on ebay motors, here's the link:

http://stores.ebay.com/wheelstiresandmore

Got the rims in just a couple of days and they look good. I suspected that I had one bad rim (bent/rash) and had another with some curb rash also so I bid on the one and asked if they had another. They advertised them as 03 rims and couldn't say if they would fit an 02, which of course they do. They were asking $125 and the other sellers were wanting $125-$165. My rims look different from yours so I don't know what the price difference will be.

they look great and I could tell the difference with the new rims immediately. The one i suspected was bad caused the car to pull.

 

[bgibb68]

i just realized that i have the '03 rims.....i forgot that they had to swap the rims when i got the car(3 times actually) cause every set they put on were curbed and i would b****(yupnope)

 

[thorracing271]

is there a difference between the 02 and 03 rim style?

 

[bgibb68]

is there a difference between the 02 and 03 rim style?

yeah...the 02's are the 'fan' style blades and here's the 03

 

[thorracing271]

hahahah well then! If you would like to sent me all 4, shipped for eeh lets say $125...YOU HAVE A DEAL!(cryhard)

Junk yards, ebay and even some replica's online are fairly cheap.

I have a bent one as well. Doesn't seem too bad but my tire guy said he wouldn't put it in front. I've been looking for a stock replacent, but also looking a little for a nice afermarket set. Found these through Discount Tire: http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/fi...=2002&pc=22690&wd=16&rw=&vid=007052&rc=NMAINT
