Screwed

A followup/itoldyaso from yesterday's post.

I got a bit more than a third of what it will cost to get the car back in shape. I now have to decide if I am going to shell out everything that it needs, or just put the stock tires/wheels on it, repair any other damage using the pittance I was given, drive it for a while longer and possibly sell it. I have a ton of fun with that car, but I swear it's cursed. This being America and all, it looks like I will have to drive monstrous vehicles to be seen by people and to inflict as much damage as I can to those people who dice it out with me.

I'm sick of it all.

The problem is that they will only give me funds to replace two of the wheels. Since the wheels are not made anymore, I have to pick similar ones. The originals are SSR Competition, anthracite with a machined lip. The equivalent SSR wheels are Type C RS, which are essentially the same rim, but without the machined lip. I REALLY wish I could get a pair of the original Comps, because the machined lip really makes the car, and the anthracite matches the body color. I could not convince them to give me enough to replace all four, just the two. They are making allowances for mods, but they will only replace what is damaged. No allowance is made for making things match.
