How do I post the pics ?

Like the others said!! Lucky it's only the wheel. Good luck on your part. If you have to be hit that's a good way to be hit. Glad it's getting rectified.

On the bright side:
1. it wasn't a hit-n-run
2. boss ponied up really fast.
Hopefully its just a banged up rim.

Yes he did pony up fast and I am glad I haven't cashed his check.
I will get the car checked out on monday.
Thank's to all of you
BTW I received an email from some one saying that he has a wheel for 150.00 and I was wondering if anyone has any ideas, meaning do I send him the money and wait for the wheel sight unseen,doesn't sound like a good idea.
What is the best way to do this
Absolutly no offence to this person but I must be wary.
