needle in a hay stack.

I spend the better part of week last week trying to find rims that matched my cars rims. Did you know there are thousands and thousands of rims too see.

Now let us take a few steps back to Friday Feb 4th. I was T-boned by another drive .$4500 worth of damages.later. the car is in the shop waiting in line with other cars that didn't fair so well with the big ice storm. 

 Here is where the needle in a hay stack comes in. The insurance adjuster call me back a week later and says... because you have after mark rims. and they are not made any more. we can...........

 A.give you a check for $400 for the price on the one rim. or B. try to find a rim that closely matches the rim. I was like are you kidding me. Both of those ideas were crazy. If you cant find them how am I suppose to. So now I am thinking wow i get hit and I am out money on trying to find a set of 20" rims or go with option A. and drive on the spare till I can save the money up for a full set or B look like a stupid car with mismatched rims.

That is when the searching begins. Let me tell you I have NEVER looked at so many rims. It took me 3days and alot of web searches, but I found them!! Once I had the right name of the rims Veloche Rims. there were pages and pages of yahoo web search. I found the needle in the hay stack..... Veloche-Verzio 540 chrome rims!!!!!!!!! The same ones that they said they don't make or cant get any more... I found it.

WHOOO HOOOO!!! now I wont look like a dork or be out $1000  a set ( that is the low end) most set at are about $1600.  Oh Happy Day... the Needle is found.
