from bad to worse
i need to vent and this is the place. first let me say THERE WILL BE NO PICS it pained me enough to look at it the first time. if you dont want to read the long post cliff notes will be posted directly after. So i get a great deal on a second hand set of rj 1pc devotion (the second most pimp wheels to the 3 pc) from our good freind nueronbob. i had just got some other mods put in was just waiting for the weather to be nice on a day off for a full photoshoot. my wife comes home and asks me to check the tire preassure im like i just checked them last week when we put them on but i go out to check. starting with the front driver and omgwtf my rim was bent like someone tried to take the wheel off by prying at it with a crowbar between the rim and tire. so im pretty dissapointed so i think that it is best not to ride on a messed up rim so i dont mess up my alignment. (shops over here suck so i only take it to someone if neccicary) i decide to just put the stock ones back on so i get done with the driver side and im working on the passeger side and i must be a complete retard to think that the jack that they give you with the car should be sufficant to change tires on the car it came with. my car just sank didnt hit hard but just sank. i was on a flat surface and using the perscribed jack points. now im like omgomgomgwtfgd. i get they guy next door and has has a full size jack but it was too big then he got a smaller one we had to take the wheels of just to get it in ther on a good point and everything looked fine. next morning my wife sends me out to the car to get her bag out the passenger seat and 
the passenger floor got pushed up from the jack it sat on car is getting fixed now and wont cost as much as i thought i just hope they dont mess it up or drive all my gas out. for all of you who are think about resale value i wont ever sell my car. forgot to mention the rim that got bent was redone before i got it and it think it was weakned

Noooooooooooo.......
That is an incredible run of bad luck. It is worrisome that the jack would do that kind of damage to the floor of the passenger compartment. It is even worse luck that one of the rims I sent is already bent again.
Are the roads that bad in Italy?

wow, how did the passenger floor warp, isn't it supposed to take the weight of the car when it is jacked?
