tires and wheels

im looking for new rims for my t/a. i avoided an accident and hit a curb real hard about a year ago and the rim got bashed in pretty bad, it was holding air until now, now its leaking on the bead aroudn the bent part of the rim. i need to refill the tire every day, other than hawks (cuz they're a bit overpriced i think) where else can i find a nice wheel to replace this. im going to double check the tire to make sure it doesnt have something stuck in it like a nail or something.

im just wondering where and how much i can get a rim from...i dont think used ones would be in much good shape around here.

Re: tires and wheels

Which rim do you need? Front? Rear? Crosslace?

OK....I've got 2 gold rears, which is why I asked.

I used to refer to them as 'GTA wheels', but then the TA guys would get their panties in a wad, because the wheels on GTAs only. TAs got them too.

But yeah....'crosslace' is a common name for them.
