Haha oh yeah I did it good. The other one is not as bad, but there is about a 2 inch piece missing from the lip. The sad part is, I didn't even hit the curb too hard. It rained, then it freezed up and snowed on top and was slick as hell. I was more upset that I didn't save it then I was about messing up my rim. This just gives me an excuse to get something different lol.
I found a nice set of American Racing ones on eBay, but the seller only wants local pick up and they are in Ohio... I sent them an email. I want to get them to ship them to me. We'll see. I don't really have the money for all new ones, but I'm having a tough time just finding 2 stock ones like mine. I'll have to call the local salvage yards.
I almost don't want to find 2 stock ones so I can get new ones, but at the same time I know it's the smartest thing to do...

Yeah like I said, I'm going to call the local junk yard and see. I know I should really just try and find 2 but I really want something else as well you know? I know I'm going to get something different in the summer and I don't want to buy 2 now and then just end up getting all new ones in the summer.
I found someone selling all four on craigslist but he wasn't willing to sell just two... I'll keep looking. I haven't really looked a lot yet.

Well two of them are bad. I only posted one picture because photobucket wasn't working well for me yesterday. The other one has a 2 chunk missing from the lip. It's been like 36 hours since it happened now in close to 0 degree temps and they are still full of air, but I'm pretty shocked they are lol. Either way, if I tried driving on the highway is going to vibrate like there is no tomorrow. Plus I just don't want to chance it and ruin my tires too.

Dude, you and me both. I did that Monday night and here we are Wednesday afternoon and they are both still full. I can't even hear a leak.
I get what you're saying now ramguy, but I still want to have a spare. I think a buddy of mine from work knows someone whos knows someone ect ect that has a dakota and he's going to see if he can get me a spare just so I can get home from school. Even though there is air in them, there is no way I'm driving 230 miles home on the highway lol. I can only imagine how much they will be out of balance now.
