Hey guys, new to the joint!

Basically had a nice bit of oversteer last night in the rain on a roundabout. Tried to catch it but ended up bashing the front wheel into the kerb.

Now would this wheel be repairable? I've lost a pretty decent sized chunk out of this (got a taste of RWD action in the process.. never use shit tyres). If not would anyone know what type of wheels I'm running? AFAIK they're OEM 14x5.5s but not sure of style/where to get one.. thoughts? See pics for the wheel and the aftermath.

To be honest, I wouldn't run on that when repaired. Scary!

Just pick up a cheap set of steelies or alloys that are 4x100 and replace your current ones. With that chuck missing, most repair places wont touch it.

Also check your wheel bearing, hub, tie rod end/inner rack knuckles & lower/upper control arms for any damage if that is what happened to your rim

Cheers guys, sorta knew the wheel's dead and floating. Any inputs on what the wheel might be style wise?
