Guys, I just F'd up my wheels coming home from the Dodger game! Hit a split in the road surface on the 5 South to the 10 East. Started looseing pressure within 10 miles and was down to 15 pounds before I could find a good area, where I wouldn't get shot, to get to a service station for air and to check out the damage. I knew it when I hit it, felt in my back, and knew they were bent. Not just one wheel, but three wheels I feel sick right now!

Anyone in SoCal area know of a good place to get them straightend. 19" Momo's, can't afford to replace them, I couldn't afford them when I got them the first time! Help me out here! Or just give me a hug, and tell me it will be OK!

I feel your pain. Just had a bent wheel repaired to the tune of $130. There are not many places that repair wheels (atleast herein GA). JUst do a google in your area.

check for further suspension damage if it was that of big hit.

It does not look like there is any suspension damage, but I am going to take it in to be checked anyway. Yes I have found a few places that repair damaged wheels, there is a place in Montclair called DB Wheels, word is that they do good work. My cousin is checking with a place in O.C. that his friend works for that is a manufacturer. I am looking in to running it through my insurance company, just in case they can't be fixxed. LA freeways SUCK!!!

I know that area and drive through those two breaks in a road dialy. Which one was it? the transition ramp from the 10 east santa monica to 5 north (brek in the right lane) or the left lanes on the 5 with the rail sticking out? I usually avoid the first, but hit the rails since I can't get out in time to avoid them. So far my 19"s have held...

It was the SB 5 ramp to the 10E. Don't go that way! I've hit crap all over LA, but nothing like that! Wierd thing is that I've taken it before, and had no problems, I am wondering if the quake lifted it more?
