hit a curb while making a hard turn, my rim is warped, and my alignment is a bit off. anyone have a recommendation as to where i can find one rim for decent price?. or at worst a two set. live in ajax but willing to travel a wee bit to get.

What kind of rim? the 5 spoke 17s?

You should probably specify that lol.

why don't you try to get it repaired first? there's companies that specialise in this

i'd say it'd be "better" to buy a used set ~ 350, than to repair for ~200 - that way you get 3 excess wheels

your parents can't share or cover the costs?
wheel repair can be done cheap if you shop around

If it makes you feel better my brother borrowed my Jeep a few years back and within 2 hours he hit a VW Bug.

Sorry to hear about that it just sucks. I'd advise against going with the repair, I've driven on a repaired rim before and it never felt right. Look for a replacement, autowreckers may sell a single rim.
