Default Bent rim *ouch*

Ok, so here's the deal...went and road force balanced my front wheels today....found out why I was getting ridiculous vibration. Turns out one of my front wheels is bent. [:'(]

So, my question folks....should I buy a replacement of what I have? or ditch the set and get a set of something new? Not sure what yet, I'm contemplating a few options...not really looking for specific wheel advice, just wondering how you guys would approach this. I've had bad luck with these wheels, the dealer damaged 2 of them while working on them (they did replace them though), I've had to replace 3 tires due to nails (road hazard warranty covered thank goodness), and now this. I'm thinking it's time to kick these to the curb before things get worse hahaha.

I would take this opportunity to upgrade your rims and shoes!

Upgrade!!

Actually now that we see a picture, those rims are OK...
I'm not veryfond of the rivet scheme (toomany)but those are sexy.

It's very had to say without knowing what wheels you have now... Comes down to cost I guess.

I like those, although they are a little big for my tastes. Might as well change them. You can always go back!

Upgrade, get some black chrome. They look nice but I wonder what they look like on the car.

Yeah, black chrome looks cool, I'm afraid it might not match the black stripes though....I'm contemplating the Shelby Torq-Thrusts right now or maybe the CS66.
