Oh man, that green one sure had one hell of an impact.
As a green owner myself, it makes me sad to see it.

The wheel itself (even with the wood inserts) is not what costs so much...it is the air bag components inside the wheel that cost the real bucks...not to mention the labor hooking all that super-sensitive stuff back up.

Sick, your pic makes a tear come down my cheek cuz that pic looks almost like the impact mine sustained in january except mine is a bit less damage... a little bit less.

TAP is a hit/miss deal, I've tried them sporadically since the mid-80's and aside from the timing, some of the prices can be high. With the parts search at local dismantlers, I have been much happier. YMMV
