Hey guys, was recently involved in an accident (girl texting and driving slammed into the back/side of my car parked in front of my house) and she damaged a wheel. The insurance company is giving me about $500 for the wheel damage and I'm looking to see if anyone is willing to sell a set of 400m's or 441m's for around that price. Would also be interested in 403m's and would pay a bit more for those. Willing to go up to $1000 for the right wheels if equipped with good rubber still. Ideally looking for local pickup between Eugene and Seattle.

Thanks!

What wheels do you have on your car?

Unfortunately, it appears you chose the correct nick though.

I'm sorry if I wasn't more clear, I'm well aware of how it works: The wheel was damaged, and the insurance is paying the full replacement cost of a single 400m, which is $504. Rather than having the body shop buy a brand new wheel directly from BMW for that price, I am choosing to have the insurance company pay me directly and spending that money (plus a bit of my own) so I can replace all four, since $500-800ish seems to be the going price for a set of four here on the forums.

Currently running 400m's now. And the wheel damage was cosmetic, not structural, so I will be keeping the wheel. So my existing set will become my winters, and whatever I replace them with will become my summers.
