Wife's car has 2 bent wheels, so I will probably replace all 4. I'm likely to just get them from Discount Tire, but I don't know anything about wheels. Does the brand really even matter much for a commuter sedan that is driving on the interstate most of the time?

Steel wheels should be cheaper and more durable if you suspect repeat issues. What kind of car?

Haven't thought of that, or even if it was possible. Would the dealership do that sort of work?

Brand doesn't matter. Find something that fits with the look you want.

Repaired or if they are factory aluminum wheels you may be able to buy 2 used ones that match the 2 good wheels.

Nope. Lots of places do it.

I use Sammy at Houston WheelTex.

I'd see if a local pick-a-part has a couple of rims that are the same. What we did when my wife's former car got a rim bent.

I know a lot about a little, and a little about a lot.

This is shocking!

How fast was she going when she turned into the curb?

The best part is, according to the folks at discount, one is front left and other is back right.

I mean, how

Brand doesn't matter so much. I'd just ensure the wheels don't have multiple bolt patterns, aren't black, and that hub rings are installed with the new wheels.

Finding some used OE wheels would probably look best

Look on Facebook Marketplace. Lots of take-offs, etc there

So the greatest civilization is one where all citizens are equally armed and can only be persuaded, never forced. It removes force from the equation... and that's why carrying a gun is a civilized act.
