How do you drive around parked, maybe this is why ur wheel is fucked.

you can still use the rims just get hub centric adapters if there not already. and a fucking torque wrench.

i was thinkin tht, but the wheel stud gap is bigger. i was gonna jus get new rings but im not sure i dont want them 2 crack. wat u guys think?

looks like you left your lugnuts loose and they worked their way off, and once the wheel got loose, it used the sides of the studs as saws to cut into the wheel.

i would reuse the wheel, it looks fine, as the majority of the lugnut seats are still there. between the wheel centering itself on the center of the hub as well as the four ball-ended lugs holding it, itll sit straight! though you may want to consider having a shop rebalance it real quick. then just throw it back on, and TIGHTEN those lugs!! hehe.

The threads on those wheels studs look shot.

Agreed. Filing down a wheel takes its toll! Hit up Pep Boys or something. They charged my friend $40 to replace a stud, so you'd probably pay $160 total... maybe less if you ask for a deal, or if all the studs aren't shot. As cp[mike] said, the wheel will probably be find if it's properly tightened and balanced. Finding one of those will be hard as hell. I've never even seen on in person! Those were a fairly rare option.
