Dam curbs
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.

Re: Dam curbs
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.

Re: Dam curbs
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. |

Re: Dam curbs
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.
