The best day ever

Not so heres my rant guys

As I was leaving the market I pull out of the driveway and the car feels a bit weird, its shaking and my steering wheel is totally off. I turn right and the car goes straigt. Im a few blocks from home so I just decide to take it slow and see what happened until i got home. About half a block from getting home I here something that sounds like a tire popping. I get home and check and sure enough it is. I walk to the back to get the jack and thats when I notice my car was hit on the rear at school. Yay hit and run...great. A friend comes and helps me out as I try to get the flat out one of the studs breaks. How can this get any worse..We get passed that and take all 4 wheels off since I was just going to change to another set of wheels until i can get the tire replaced, as I take the right from wheel off I notice that the tire on that wheel is also screwed. bubbles on the sidewall..damn people at discout tires cant do a proper allignment. Im pissed right now 4 things in one day...and the day still isnt over.




How far the rim was sitting from the concrete


And the little present someone decided to leave me at school.

no the wheels not bent which is a good thing, but there are very minor scratches on it because of it hitting the concrete when i drove up my driveway...yah my rear bumper is what kicked off the show I couldnt believe it when I saw it.

Dang man sucks, stupid pricks and not being careful, this is why I park my car alllllll the way in the last spot away from everyone, like once I saw an Audi A8 brand new parked in a store, in the first spot. Someone let a shopping cart go and it smacked into the drivers door, and they just ran off... >.<.

If it makes you feel any better your rims are really sexy.

agree that buffing will fix the bumper no sweat!

sidewall bumps or blisters are tire defect issue and should be replaced, maybe warranty depending on age

bad alignment wont normally cause sidewall bubbles, but will wear out the inner or outer edge of the tread faster--if the steering feels loose and wanders down the road, its often alignment

No warranty on the tires since it was included with the wheels

Well I'll get a couple pix of the tires so you guys can make the decision but I honestly think its because of the people at discount tires fucking up the allignment, it almost looked like the wear was on the sidewalls

I like the way you think, I'd like to add to it hoping that an anvil lands squarely on their heads from an altitude of 25 thousand feet.

bubbles on the sidewall is usually caused by running the tire flat. Its the sidewall creasing and uncreasing as you roll creating a weak spot in the tire. That sucks dude you car got hit. Atleast nobody threw a beer bottle at your car or a handi-van backs up into your front bumper. Best of luck.
