what do you guys think

This is my car

[IMG][/IMG]

And this is what happened a couple weeks ago when i slid on ice and hit a curve....


i was just wondering if you guys this is fine to drive on since is just the lip that broke. The rim has no bends to it and the tire holds air.

I always liked the white....not a fan of the rims, but they seem to work. I would get that rim fixed ASAP. You are at a huge increased risk of blowing out a side wall or a greater rim failure. the side wall on that tire look fubar. It just doesnt look safe IMO.

^ nice, good thing you didn't hit a curb, your rim would've probably turned out a lot worse


but in all seriousness, that is not safe, your sidewall looks pretty done, one of these times it's either gonna leak really bad, or just blow. get it replaced.
and maybe get better rims next time that won't break into pieces, just my

thats definately unsafe. it will blow soon.

i cant say i like the rims but theres no reason for you to tell him to not post.
and maybe hes into a different style, that gives you no right to tell him not to post.

sorry im just sick of people acting like dick heads on this forum for no reason

no its actually not. this forum is so boring lately, and its because every time someone new comes on here they get treated with nothing but disrespect.
all he did was ask for an opinion on his rims and the safetey of them.... i dont think he asked to get trashed for his style.
