Sounds like an insurance claim should cover it.

That sucks, sorry to hear that!!! Make sure your alignment is OK too. Good save, it could have been worse it sounds.

Did you pay that much for those wheels? That price sounds very high for two wheels. I'm sure you could do better.

I would have called the police... and tried to press charges in regards to J walking. I would have done anything to avoid that.

While just hitting him would be less than humanitarian, there is a Darwinian argument that it's for the greater good. Of course, bodywork would have been even more expensive. Oh well.

Feel good that you had the reflexes, good judgment, and a good handling car to avoid this bozo. Sometimes we get unlucky and it was your turn. Not like you had a choice.

Look in our for sale section. You can get a full set of wheels and tires for not much more. That's the route I would take.. or just get a set of aftermarket tires and wheels.

I would make an opportunity out of the event and buy all new wheels and tires. Different wheels would make your car more personalized. Four years ago I bought wheels and tires from Tire Rack for my Z4, the package cost $1700.00 to my door ready to install on the car. The wheel and tire set up I had made my car look great. It was money well spent. I am going to get wheels and tires for my 135i soon.

did i say 982.71? my bad. i meant $1107.00

if your tires are ok, then just wheels, right? BMW performance wheels aren't more expensive for 4 than what you are looking for to replace 2. Check Dan at United, he has them cheap.

Could also sell your 2 good rims to someone in the for sale section I'm sure. Insurance should pay for the replacemnt.
