I need just one OE wheel ( 99 G20 15" mesh style, not the six spokes), if any of you guys upgrade your wheels, use up one OE for full size spare tire, and have three left lying around your garage, please let me know and I will pay.....$60 for one, shipping is on me. I hit a curb pretty hard and bent one of my wheels.....thanks.

...yeah....I believe I bent the frame (cross over)a little. Cuz I put a new lower control arm on, and the alignment reading still fuxxed up..... +0.7 camber....so I used my trick and corrected the camber...now is +0.1, not exact what I want but close enough....

If you've hit something that hard, I'd be inclined to get it checked out by a professional. The last thing you want is for a weakened part to let go whilst you are going at speed, else the results could be fatal.
It is better to pay out a few $$$'s now to fix a few bent parts than to either have to buy a new car six months down the line, or worse, find yourself in a bodybag because your ssupension broke mid corner and hurled you off the road into a tree :(
In case you haven't already guessed, I know someone this happened to. He had hit a curb hard earlier in the week, and had only replaced his wheel. Later on in the week, his steering arm joint snapped and caused his car to leave the road. Luckily he wasn't going at speed, so there was no real harm done.

thanks for the concern....yeah I have already check them all....I replace my lower control arm, my tie rod still straight, ball joints, hub, upper control arm ar ok....and after I play around with the alignment angle, my car drives good, actually better than before, because I find the way to adjust caster.
So anyone here want to sell me a wheel? .....
