Default Replacement rims

After a hard hit on a pot hole, my rear tire started losing air every 16 hours. I removed it for inspection and found a crack in the rim on the inside edge. A company on the internet 'wheelership' looked promising. I called Friday morning and was told they had 19" rims to match in stock. After ordering, email confirmation that it was shipped that afternoon with a UPS tracking number. Arrived Tuesday morning (from New Jersey to Florida) and indeed looks perfect. Tire shop swapped it out and good as new! Shout out to Wheelership for quality and customer service!!

I'm in New Jersey. Just out of curiosity, where are they located?
I saw their website before when I thought about replacing mine. Unfortunately the cost and shipping were too much for me.
I ended up getting my wheels refurbished for $600.00 locally. If I knew they were in NJ I probably could have picked them up and saved on the shipping.

For the 'what it's worth' department, they offer a 10% discount for what looks like new customers!

Hi everyone, it’s been a stressful year and I’m finally getting back to working on my 2005. I have original rims and two of them leak. I saw someone post that they had theirs repaired locally and others suggesting stores not in Tennessee? I’m curious what the best bang for buck is, repair or buy new? If buying then is EBay the best option? Thanks!
