Yep I curbed one of my F'n wheels. I'm so careful too. Leaving out of a parking garage, and hit the curb so hard. It's the back drivers side wheel. In the pic, the wheel is dirty, so you can't see the damage too good. But look at each spoke closely, you'll see some of it. It's so messed up. I was so furious. I will have a new rim soon though. That's the worst, to curb your damn wheel. The sound is just scary! These rims are pricey too, so it sucks.

 

:wow: Ouch. Sorry to hear. Are you getting a new rim replacement or getting it re-finished at a wheel shop?

Slagboy.

 

damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! did you hit every spoke?

sorry to hear that.
good luch, you can also probably get it fixed for cheap.

 

damn, you messed those up pretty badly.

its all good though just fix them and you will be fine.

 

damn sorry to see that bro, glad i still have my stock's on. funny how you never seem to do stupid things like that until you have expensive a$$ rims.

 

Yeah tell me about it. Once you get rims, then you mess **** up, lol. If I don't order a new rim, how on earth would I get it fixed?

 

I'm not a fan of how the center of the wheel sits out beyond the edge of the rim. It seems that style of rim is asking to be destroyed. I know there are places locally that fix rims so I'd assume there are some local to you too. Maybe some here knows? If not do a search or grab your yellow pages

I know the way my g/f loves to rub up against the curb will have a large effect on the rim I go with this Spring.

 

dang those rims are dirty, did you go off roading or something. J/K

 

Haha, ya the car is filthy. It has rained the last like 3 weeks. Hope to wash the car this weekend, hehe.

 

yea i hope to wash mine this weekend too. lol

 

I've read that there are wheel shops that can repair damaged rims. How they do it, I have no idea, but I hear it's cheaper than getting a new one.

Lates,

You much be one rich dude.

 

I might just order 2 new rims, to be safe, lol.

 

 

Curb rash is fixable...

couple of ways Mike.

Take it to a Wheel repair shop... about $100 to $150 to fix.

Or do it yourself but I dont know about doing it your self yet... Maybe do it your self and use it as a Spare Tire.
