Thanks for the tips. I am a complete novice at any of this and my husband is so busy with work, he would prefer that I do the homework on getting this fixed. Sooooo...I am looking on ebay and found a few rims. Thanks, to FP...I may make an offer, but I'll be sure to ask the seller about the weights and curb rash and the chipping. Excellent advice and thanks for your sympathy! I appreciate it!!!!
