    You didn't read the thread. He's got a GP GXP rim for sale, too.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    How bad in the bend?

    I see bent rims everyday, 90% of them never cause an issue.

    I recently went through the same issue with my 2010 corolla. I bent a rim and a new one was way expensive from the dealer. I got a new rim from this place for cheap. Maybe they can help you.
