On my way home, I was behind this garbage truck. Light turns green, the one lane turns into a two lane road. I go into the left, slowly passing him. He starts to merge into my lane to pass by a double parked car...too late to slam the brakes, I quickly try to pass him. Nope, too late, he's too close to me, had to cut left into the sidewalk to avoid him sideswiping me!!!

Loud crunch/scraping noise and everyone is looking to see what it is. After he passes by me, he sticks his head out the window and laughs, fvcking *******. I couldn't do anything but curse and flip him off.

I was pissed off for so long after this and on the drive home.

No way for 19s in the city of Boston...they would get bent real easy. 18s are my max for Boston.

and then get some aftermarket wheels to make you feel better!!! You can get the spare out and replace that wheel. That's what I did when I curbed my wheel.

I wish I could afford the real deal...perhaps some replicas...do they even sell replicas?

I started refinishing my oem 17" (I will repaint them gunmetal grey) because I just got some 19" RS4 reps and I will keep my 17" for winter wheels.

Start by sanding it to the primer and you could fill the holes with bondo to reshape the gouged parts, then re-prime and re-paint.
Worth a shot...

I could not see a damn thing and I was on the interstate! I had to pull over and did not get a licence plate or any info. Could not wash it until I got home from work.
