I hate it when my car decides to rub up against things.

Hopefully you can get the wheels repaired without much hassle.

Damn, that sucks. Remind me of my friend who loves to turn extremely close to the curb. Lucky he has an SUV though

Ouch! Don't let your car make anymore decisions.

Any damage to the suspension, or did you just take out the wheels? Double check everything when you've got the wheels off.

Doenst' look too bad, after a crazy typhoon in hk I ran over a giant pot hole at around 40 mph. Bent my wheels in 2 places. fixed it up for around 100 USD. didn't repaint it though.

So as I said before, my Driver's side rear had a hole punctured into the sidewall of it so I put on my spare and went and got a new tire for it today. I talked to the manager of the tire shop I went to and told him that I was looking at a shop down new San Diego that could hopefully repair and possibly re-powdercoat my wheels if needed, to my surprise he has a buddy that does that and runs his business through this tire shop and so he made an appointment for him to come and look at the wheels in the morning to do an estimate on it, as for now my car is in the garage up on stands and is waiting for something to happen. Will post updates

These are my stock 19" Rays and the dealership are pretty pricey, plus I would have to have them both powder coated again which somewhat seems like more of a hassle. I've looked on the forum and found a couple used sets but they're still listed pretty high so I'm gonna see what it costs for the repair and then hopefully make a smart decision.
I'll post estimates probably tomorrow

When it first happened, the car was pulling to the left so I was obviously thinking that I broke something more than my wheel. But today after having the flat tire replaced and re-balanced, the car seemed to ride "pretty straight". Now of course I'm going to take it to get a better inspection because the place that I went to today doesn't do inspections or alignments like that plus I wanted to wait until I get the bent rim straightened out, re-balanced, and re-mounted before doing alignment and inspections on it so I could hopefully knock it all out in one trip.

Yeah when I went out and inspected it the next morning I realized that it wasn't as bad as I had thought but of course I thought that I had totaled my car The wheel that was bent held air perfectly and if it hadn't been for the rear wheel getting a hole in the sidewall, the car would have probably driven the same as before. In theory. But I'm just hoping that this doesn't set me back too much I guess I'll just have to wait and see.
