Default A pipe in the road killed my rim

So, as if the potholes in New England aren't enough to destroy your rims, I was driving down route 93 (as any of you from new england know it is one of the main north south arteries in massachusetts and NH) and what do i see in the middle of my lane on a rainy sunday night but a 5 foot piece of 4" diameter pipe. Well, at 75 I didn't have much chance to react, but I did only get it with my left front....Unfortunately I got a flat...so I changed it. This weekend I went to put new Toyo Proxes on the car, get the spare out of the trunk, and it's so dented that not only would I not want to drive with it on, but I can't because i can't get the tire bead to catch and hold air. I will post some pix of this carnage soon, but if anyone has a 17" 5 spoke that they're looking to get rid of, I'm in the market. I've attached a picture of what I'm looking for. PM me or post. Willing to give a fair price or possibly trade a little labor (my brother owns a garage and does tuning.)

Let me know.

I have a set exactly like that, that my winter tires are on but I'm going to all-seasons on my black wheels. I will defintely get back to you about it tomorrow though. I'm only 17 so I have to talk to my dad about it. haha
