    There goes my TRD wheels

    So today I go to a drive up ATM, as I'm leaving I turn out of the aisle (apparently too early) and end up hitting my rear wheel. I had my windows open and all I could hear was scraping. I got out to check the damage, and what do ya know........fucked the crap outta my wheel. Damn TRD using a wheel where the spokes stick out farther than the rest of the wheel. Put a nice scrape on it a little more than a quarter in size. It stands out like crazy seeing as how it's a big black blob on a silver wheel. Went to a wheel shop to see how much it would cost to refinish and it's $210 per wheel. They recommend you refinish two wheels so the front and the back match. I figured fuck that, I'll just get a new wheel for that price, I'm not spending $420 to refinish wheels. I call my TRD guy and TRD will only sell the wheels in a package of four. So now I'm at a loss, if anyone knows where i can get a single TRD wheel please help a brother out.

    look for a cheaper repair shop. A friend of mine paid $70 CDN and his rim was in really bad shape.

    Thanks, I'll try and look around. Don't know many places around here though. I also found a guy on matrixowners that can get me a new wheel.
