Default I'm a bonehead

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/20538/lfwheel.jpg"></center><p>So we're in Baltimore's Inner Harbor/Little Italy area yesterday and I'm pulling into a parking garage. The ticket machine is a sharp 90 degree turn to the right after the entrance. I pulled in really slowly and thought I was gonna clear but *CRUNCH*. I'm pissed. A couple of the areas look like they're down to the metal. Is there any hope of salvaging the finish or do I live with it? Anyone have a spare 17" 5th wheel they wanna get rid of cheap?

Default Almost all of mine are like that thanks to the car wash rails.

Just live with it. When I take them off for the winter I think I might get the fixed. I didn't even bother putting the spare on. If I did that would just get killed by the rails. Owell.
