Anyway going slowly over this "bump" I heard a loud bang from underneath my car low and behold my tire became flat about 1 mile later. I got the care luckily to Just Tires on North Ave only to find out today that my rim which had the flat tire is cracked and wont hold air. I am riding on Axis Mod 7 19 x 8.0 in the front. I am having a hell of a time finding a replacement for this single rim, I am trying to buy a set of OEM rims through this websites classified section which I have only just started to do. Needless to say aftermarket rims suck and our cars lack of a spare tire really doesn't help anything in situations like I am in. I have to find a way to get the car to my residence tonight but without a spare it seems rather impossible to do such a task. So far this has been the worst week for more reasons other than this for me this year but this just compounds everything else that has been going wrong. Anyone know of a place around Elmhurst IL where I can get a donut spare for my car?
sorry I didn't read this earlier.
I have spare rims with decent* tires. But i'm here in St Louis..
You are welcome to borrow if you can find a way.
What size? Front, rear?
Next we work on gettin it to you.
* Decent, meaning they hold air, are round and still on the rims.
