ARGH, damn curb and snow!!
 
It was snowing tonight, and theres about half an inch or an inch on the ground, i figured id be all right just going to drop off my friend... anyways, taking a left turn into a neighborhood, car wouldnt turn, put thiongs in short, my cars front right rim/tire slammed into a deep curb, bent the crap out of my lip, and the whole tire is sitting back rubbing against the wheel well now, just what i needed! The rim seems all right, the lip is fudged hard! ill get pics tomorrow, too pissed to do it now, i have the 3 piece senekas, time to call iforged and see how cheap/expensive it wil be to fix, im hoping they can just put on a new lip or something, time to test how much its worth to get 3 piece rims! ARGH!!!!!! oh yeah, im guessing im going to need suspension work done now as well, at least i have cheap labor, but still, i really could have used that money for xmas! damn!!

Could be worse. I did the same thing and bent 2 wheels and my steering rack...
 
Good bye $3000! Happened when my car was about 3 weeks old too...

im thinking i might just make an insurance claim out of this and see if i can get a new wheel :-)

Best quess with 19" rims he's got summers.If that's the case, I'll be polite and only say, DOH!

CrazyBobby@ModSport 12-19-2003 07:42 AM

you guessed it! going only 5mph too! Never knew how much damage 5mph could do...

Insurance will cover most.....?
 
And since the wheels are 3 piece, you'll be able to get just the part replaced that was damaged. Personally, I would not drive on my nice wheels in winter.
