Angry My Rims are Scratched!! ARGH!!

I know something has happened when my wife calls and says "Now don't get mad but..." The curb decided to get in her way and now my front rim is grinded bad!! No way this one can be fixed!
At least she did it to the stock rim as I didn't put on my CL-s rims yet! Funny how you don't really care when you're changing it out anyway... The bummer part is that I won't be able to sell 'um now!

Well, it's okay...... two of my rims are scratched, badly...

You can still sell them to somebody like me. Since I got new tires on my stock rims, I will be sticking with it for a while. Or sell it to somebody who uses them for winter. They don't care if it's scratched...

actually, you'd be surprised at what they can fix. my CL-S rim was bent after hitting a rail road track crossing and I cannot tell that the rim was ever damaged now. Cost me $109 + shipping and tax, but well worth it. Its now my extra rim since Union Pacific paid me out ofr a new rim.

You let your wife drive your TL? That's your first problem!

Don't you hate it when girls go "Don't get mad but..."? You can anticipate something real bad coming your way.
