Damn Curb! Well it took 3 months, but I finally hit a curb. Nothing bad, but pissed me off anyway!

Default Damn Curb! Well it took 3 months, but I finally hit a curb. Nothing bad, but pissed me off anyway!

I parked at work today and I had this bad feeling I pulled in too far so I got out of the car and I was right! The front bumper was about 4 inches over the curb but what looked like just a hair above it. So I pulled back off the curb very carefully and thankfully there was no damage. I only have a couple of scratches on the bottom, but not visible from the front.

No damage, but really pissed me off.

Default OEM Wheels? ... Superior Industries.

Superior Industries (Van Nuys, CA.) is the world's largest OEM wheel manufacturer in the world with 9 factories across the globe. They are the number one wheel supplier to GM, Ford, Benz/Chrysler, VW/Audi, BMW and just about everyone else. Audi wheels are manufactured in their Budapest, Hungary plant. You cannot get a wheel direct from Superior. I've tried.
