Default Blow a rim? Do you mean bend, crack, damage?...

The dealer can have a new one in a day or two, but there might be a dealer in the area (Long Island) that has one in stock.

Default killed 2 rims + 2 tires, so I just ordered 4 new aftermarket wheels/tires.

took a little less than a week from the time I ordered (CA -> TX delivery).

Tires might take longer if no one has them in stock

Default the tire ripped and the rim cracked...dealer offered a rim warranty 1100bucks

and covers bent/cracked/etc rims for 3 years...

clearly it just paid for istelf in 2-3 weeks of ownership

Default if you buy from Tire Rack, you could get their warranty.

having said that, I've seen several people post problems with "hazard" warranties over the years....they don't always cover the damage, unfair pro-rating policies, etc. those warranties are really just a way for the dealerships to make extra money...if they didn't, they wouldn't sell them.
