So heres a pic of my rim which i discovered today after owning the car less than a week. Its been rumbeling and bumping along at highway speeds and when slowing to a stop. so im assuming this is the bulk of my vibrations and rough ride issues. but ill find out later.

so i was wondering if anyone knew where i could find a replacement 10 hole in the area. i dont think there are very many junkyards in northern virginia.

im glad i found it before i went to get new tires and the wrenchs were like yea yer rims a busted. then id feel like a retard for not knowing.

so yea any help at all would be greattttt.

thanks in advance

Your ding isn't horrible and could easily be fixed by hammering the chunk back into place and rebalancing. If you are dead set on wheels though pm me as I have a set up 4 lug pony wheels for sale.

Might try Craiglist local. Or local Mustang clubs. There is places where wheels can be repaired. Maybe expensive. Matt Culppeer Maybe your best way.

i bought two 10 holes off a gu in fairfax for 50 bucks. hes got another full set if anyone needs them or he'll sell in pairs if anyone needs rims for slicks.

so i put the new rims on and went to ntb to get raped and get new tires. yay.
