Today I was late for work, and I was pulling into the parking garage that I pull into all the time. I was in a rush so I took the turn a little quick and wide and the person in front of me stopped and I managed to scrape the hell out of my rim. I immediately started sweating and my face was burning up. I quickly drive to my spot and get out hoping there was only tire damage and to my dismay, this is what I find: Should I slit my wrists now or later??

Now I don't know if I should have it repaired which most likely it will turn out looking different than the rest, or buy a new rim to avoid that. If I decide to get it fixed, does anyone know of a good place in the Seacoast NH area, even in the Boston area? TIA

Your're not going to get a dime more for all the expense it would take to repair the wheel. Don't worry about it. An alignment might be prudent.....

Basttion

just get a new one. They're anywhere from 130-165 now--THEY'RE EVERYWHERE. :l)

Get a new one. Use the curbed one as the spare...

i'd order a new one. the good news is that the tire looks fine.

i guess i will just order a new one. i also hate getting rims removed from tires because i am so paranoid about them getting damaged in the process. when i had my stock rims converted to winter tires they got all nicked! i was pissed. do you know a good place to have tires mounted onto rims?

btw, sarah hasn't e-mailed you yet because i asked her tonight. i don't think she was at all offended that you didn't offer her to drive the car, she hasn't even driven my car. she would have been too scared to mess something up, it's been a little while since she drove stick. she would probably die if you took her for a ride in your M3 though, that is her favorite car.

It's the driver and there is always someone else who can kick your ***.

wheel dynamix in natick. they do all my wheels and they've never made a mistake. not sure if it's convenient for you, though. their number is 508-647-6999. if you decide to use them, let them know i sent you and i'm sure they'll take good care of you :-)

i would be honored to take sarah for a ride in my m3. i'm going to be up in the area next weekend.

figures. but once i get the rim i will give them a call since you recommend them, obviously they must do a good job if you use them.

sarah will be psyched
