Curbed

Managed to nail the right rear tire and wheel on a curb while taking a right turn. Took a good size chunk out of the sidewall of the tire and scraped up the rim pretty well. Are there any options I have other than replacing both (or just the tire pending $$)? Also, what is a good place to pick up some new F1s and an '03 wheel?

I think I saw somewhere tirerack sells the 2003 wheels now. If they do then have then mount an F1 on a wheel and send it to you. It would probably be cheaper to do it that way than buy it at a dealer...

Check local under wheels you might be able to find a shop that fixes em. I had a friend do the same thing and he got his fixed for like 175. Cheaper than buyin a whole new wheel. And I think lfp has the cheapest price on f1's

A new stock wheel from tire rack is $250. I am thinking about just buying a new tire and leaving the wheel scratched. Although a new set of 12" x 18" wheels and 345 width tires is appealing.
