I wouldn't cry in the corner. Get it fixed or replace the needed parts. I'll let more knowledgable Vette owners comment on which method to choose.

Replace tire, get wheel repaired (not as expensive as you think).

dvilin

I would replace the wheel and the tire.

I hear the black paint on these wheels chips pretty easily, if i get them powdercoated they'll fix the one for free....should i go that route?

If so, black, very dark grey (black chrome maybe?), or this weird bronze/gold color?

I would not just glue that tire. Way too much riding on the line, specially at higher speeds.

Thepiazza

Is it to late to sign up for the wheel and tire insurance?

I would either buy a tire, use the damaged wheel until I could score a replacement single wheel or,

Depending on the condition of your tires you might want to buy a pair for the rear, then sell the remaining tire to someone here.

I'm sure you can find a single wheel on line, in the meantime a tire would get you back on the road right now.

Car is totalled. But good news!!! I will give you $10K for it...as is.

Call Bob House of Wheels in Florida. He hangs in the parts section. Probably has a used wheel he'd deal ya.

Buy a new tire.....seek a replacement for the wheel, new or used.

Ouch! I'd vote to immediately replace the tire then think about options for the wheel.

If it were me (and I'm glad it's not!), I would replace the tire and have the damaged wheel repaired.

replace tire, get them all powdercoated to choice of your color!!!

rcooper

Z51 wheel will cost you more than $400. Replace the tire, I would not drive around the block with that tire.

jsimp413

A little more expensive, but there won't be any regrets.

dvandentop

can ge that wheel repaired by an exper for $125 or so. your dealer should know a local guy who most likely fixed up their trade in units already

EcoBrick Bob

Before you take care of the wheel and tire, have you thought of replacing the driver????

I vote new tire and wheel from Bob...
