Hey y'all... I've been around on elantraclub.com and elantraXD.com, and since my XD2 shares so much platform & whatnot with the RD, I figured I'd swing by and try to learn a bit more. Also, I'm posting to try an' get access to the WTB forum. Yesterday on 395 in DC an SUV ran me into a jersey barrier and I shredded a wheel that my car shares with the earlier tiburons. I'm sorta trying to figure out how to get one of these shipped to me sometime before November w/o getting hosed by a dealer on price.

Good times, good times. <_< Enough of that. I'm off to read some more of the board. Thanks for having me!

 

Holy crap! Only your wheel got damaged? I'm sure someone around here has a stock RD2 wheel they'd be willing to sell you for cheap.

 

welcome to the website man.

Contact me ASAP. I have a few wheels with tires to sell. And I live in Baltimore, so you can come pick it up.

Welcome to the site!

Do you have spare wheel with same rim as wrecked?

 

Welcome to the site! That's some nasty wheel damage. Hope you find the replacement you're looking for.

I just need a rim. The pickup option is very tempting, though I won't be in the area with the car again until probably July at the earliest, and I wouldn't want to hold you up from selling sooner.

I posted a "I'm hosed" message over there and three hours later he was offering to let me borrow one of his winter set until I can get my hands on something. Internet forums rock out.

 

are your other tires worn out?

 

i bet eventually you'll run into problems with that tire if you plan on keeping it .. the aluminum wheel is a lot more rigid than that rubber crap, and if the wheel got cracked .. imagine what happened to the rubber bands inside the tire? i got into an accident on my front left driver's side (fender) and a few months later that tire needs air like crazy, at least once every 10 days or so i need to put air in that thing.

 

good thinking zoned. so you should buy the wheel with the tire from me!

 

Welcome to the site, sorry about your misfortune
