Kinda hit a curb goin pretty fast, and kinda knocked the wheel off balance. First thing I noticed was the lil wibbley-wobbley thing the wheel does, like if u bent the wheels on a hotwheels car. Then, it started rubbin against the wheel well, just a lil, but noticable when turning right. The wheel has been moved back a couple of inches, but I cant see anything bent underneith the car. Gonna take it in to get looked at, but I want to kno what you thnk is bent/broken. Might wanna just buy better ones while I have to buy anything.

Yeah, It was sent to the shop yesterday, soo i'll drop by there and see if it's up yet. My camera is charging right now, so I should have pictures of the hub-cap cover by tonight. =D All in all tho, by the time this is over, I'll come out with new wheels and tires, and maybe better suspension parts. And all I have to worry about paying is the wheels. I love it when you have parents that care about your safety.

I did that to. I have rims though :(. The damage was not as bad as I would have thought though I just ended up with wheel bearings on the side I hit and an alignment. But it still cost me over $500 for the repair job without buying a new rim yet.

I'm aiming for these Enkei Pkr's since I'm on a budget and my parents wont pay for it. And I think I will like the black on white. Gonna try to make that my colors for the rest of the car, like interior paint and what not.

But now, everytime I turn it to the left slightly, it makes a low rumbling sound. I think its the berrings so imma try ot replace those and see what it does.

Those rims are nice but i dont like them on a white car, it contrasts too much and it makes them look like steelies. My 2c.

lower it a bit and it would look better. maybe some tint would contrast the color of the rims. tell your parents you hit the curb cause the sun was to bring and you couldn't see. and tint would help out greatly

haha man u can read my mind. I thinking about going with white rims but then i would have to paint the mirrors and headlights to match. I was planning on tinting and then going with a 1.5" lower, or somewhere wround there.
