I was driving home today on 170th around 4:00 so the roads were already bad, good thing other wise i might have been going alittle faster and prolly would have done alot more damage. Anyways i was driving along when some :asshole: next to me decedes to move into my lane, and not slowly either so i honked my horn and hit the brakes and moved as close to the curb as a could without hitting it..... I would have been fine but i never notice that there was like a 4" drop from the road to the gutter so the car jumped over into the curb. i pulled into the next parking lot there was and looked at the damage and ya on the front passenger rim it tore off almost the entire outer edge of the rim (where u mount the balancing weights) :mad: :mad:
nice waste of after market rims that only needed to be powder coated cuase there is no way that i would find a match for it
oh well there is one good thing it now gives me an excuse to go to the 17" rims that i wanted to get now the problem is just affording them
Right now i only wish that i got the :asshole: plates mind u i don't think that it would have done much good :mad: |

| Shitty deal man, but if you were looking to upgrade to 17s it's not a huge deal. Just keep the wrecked ones, throw some r-compounds on them and take it out to the races!:bthumbup: |

thats what I was going to say.
I have a wheel thats oval on the back side, you can see it easy just looking at it, but the face is good, well has 10" of the lip missing. Aluminuim wheel, was told 200 bucks to fix it.
I mean they have to damn near make a new wheel. |
