Default Truck Stolen and Recovered, Need Wheels

I just had my truck stolen only to be found 4 days and $11,000 later. Well, they are giving me $1,400 to replace 2 of the wheels but I am considering getting some custom wheels. Anyone out there found any good wheels (20" x 9") for around this price? I am not looking for cheap wheel/tire combos like they have on eBay - I have a 3 month old son and can't have them falling apart at 65 mph.

in the next 3 weeks i'm replacing my stock 20x9's with some 17's.
I'd be willing to give em up for 200.00 a piece (with the tires) and you pay shipping. tires will have around 4000-5000 miles on em.

Body damage, interior damage, 2 broken wheels, 2 tires, 1 spare wheel, and the list goes on... The police found it out of gas on a bridge in Washington, DC, 40 miles away.

Man If I were you I would sell it and start over, Or even trade it in, Think about what the poor engine went through with all the other damage you said, After knowing all that damage if it was mine I would always be thinking of that stuff!

Good luck Bud!!!

I might be interested.......I have new chrome Ram 20" wheels/tires, about 1100 miles on them been thinking of downsizing to 17" but only if it can be a wash in the final cost, haven't priced 17" tires/wheels yet.

My heart goes out to approx. 4weeks ago my truck was stolen only to be recovered later on that night. still though I understand how the violation feeling is going out to where your truck is supposed to be and it's not there. To my luck I only had 3500 in damage. Again my heart goes out to you. As stated earlier you might really want to consider getting rid of the truck though remember the phrase "drive it like you stole it". It's true for a reason. Also especially with a child who knows whats up with it. Take care and good luck let us know how it goes for you.

It sucks when, not only do they steal your vehicle, but they also demolish it also just to have some fun. I've had a car stolen before and it's no fun going thru the insurance process. Good luck.
