awd drive will not stop the car sliding cause u have taken too much speed into a corner, dont listen to the lies...
what kind of car and rim? is it the front or the back rim damaged?

There is a place in Osborne park that fixes up wheels for a very good price. The name escapes me atm... I am more than sure someone else will recommend them anyhow. There are not many wheel repairers in Perth anyhow
They take 1-2 weeks to fix up a wheel but do a brilliant job, you can't tell the wheel was bent in the first place.

sounds like a bent control arm, which is interchangeable from all models of KF/KH laser if you have bent the front wheel.... rear wheel would need 4WD components

i done this before in couple of different cars but not in my R32 yet must be gettin better the best thing to do is look for some one who is recking a TX3 the same year and make of yours and get the whole suspension and hub from the rear left you mite want to grab the diff too casue you will be serprised at how much damage you mite of realy done, it mite look alright but better safe than sorry.
