I was wondering the same thing ... Ray's as in Rays Engineering (ie Volk Racing)? I've got a set and they seem to hold up (only 18" forged).

Hey man,
I think I actually saw you driving around on the Cornell Campus last weekend. Where exactly did it happen? I'm driving like a grandma on all roads in ithaca/campus until I get to 13 and 81.

Sorry to hear about that bro. I know how you feel. I bent 2 rims on the GW bridge minutes before rush hour! Ironically enough, they too were Racing Hart Evo's(18" though). Best of luck. As for trying to get the city to compensate you for the rims, forget about it. If the NYSDOT is anything like NYCDOT, they will give you the run around(ie call this person, call that person, etc.)

I was skeptical that this would work, but I remember reading a couple threads where some people on here had done it.
it's worth a try
