isnt it an 05 sti? if so theres been a lot of oem wheels floating around on nasioc for next to nothing. and i know someone had a full set of hashed ones for like 400 bux with tires and might be willing to part. but 05 sti wheels are a typically a dime a dozen because of the offset. good luck anyways, id say report this to insurance, have them cut you a check for a new wheel and tire from the factory, then you find a spare and turn that into a winter set while you put the rest towards a nice new set, and locking lugs...

After class I walked back to my car that was parked in the fourth street garage. Everything looked fine because I never look at the passenger side of my car when I get to my car. When i reversed, the car dropped on the front passenger side. When that happened was really pissed off because I knew that one of my wheel was gone. After that I put on the spare and drove home with a pissed off look the whole way home.
Okay, end of rant.
What should i do now? Get new wheels, or get the oem bbs wheels from the dealer?
