try used-parts.com, you may find one. Several peeps on this forum alone have had their cars totalled by ins. Those cars end up auctioned off to salvage yards (and others) to be parted out.ipaqxman wrote:The only way to get a new factory wheel is through the dealer parts?

They are actually the company that fixes the warranty issue with the 18" sport wheels, so they can probably fix your exact wheel for around the same cost too. There's a lot of local wheel fix it places too, so look around. I'm sure there's someone in the NYC area.
You can also check craigslist and places like here for people dumping good factory wheels. I've seen a few sets on CL go pretty quickly. Shipping will be your only thing unless you find them local.

Yep! Smoother ride (with a bit of a trade-off in cornering firmness), crisper steering response at lower speeds, however. You'll notice that right away when you head out of the tire shop. Very confident-feeling on wet roads- feels no different than dry!ipaqxman wrote:I ended up purchasing the Cont purecontact since they have good reviews on Tirerack. I believe you have the same set of tires from the posts I read on tire recommendations. You still like them?
