How fast were you going?
I went over one of those concrete parking stall bumps, but i was only going about 10mph and dint see it.
My wheel was ok, but i managed to scratch up my oil pan pretty bad. Good thing I didnt have a lip kit.

holy shit! That wheel is beyond FUBAR.... If you get new wheels check to see if your car drives straight afterwords (most likely it won't) you might have bent something besides your wheels
Expensive mistake for sure

Same thing happened to me durin a trip to vegas, although I ran over an unpainted curb.
Let me tell you the damaged wheel was the LAST of why worries. I had MAJOR suspension issues because of it (eg. the control arms where bent).
