Angry Gah. Ouch!

I just curbed a rear rim BAD, first time ever. MAN what a pisser.

Didn't leave a mark on the tire, but the rim is dented a bit and peeled the chrome off of part of the lip.

Son of a...grr...

Guess I'll be calling Rich Bogart back sooner then later.

Its a bit*h Dan, I know.
Within a week of moving into my house, I managed to curb ALL FOUR WHEELS, between backing in and pulling in my narrow driveway. Thats why no big hurry on the Spanks........

That sucks... I hit the curb pulling into a gas station last night kind of caddy-corner at around 35mph, so it made a really bad noise. I didn't have a flat this morning, so other then the scrape (I'll try to photo later), the tire is holding up.

I remember back when I had my stock 18"s I hit a massive pothole in my area and it totally bent and broke the ***** out of my rim and thats the one bad thing with these rims is you can't really fix that you know.

Lately I won't go threw a drive threw anymore cause I had a scare at portillios with my 20"s. I thought I heard them scrap the crub but it was really my underside of my front bumper, yeah its that low HAHAHHAHA.

Sorry to hear that Dan
I had a wheel chipped by the dumbasses putting on new tires at GoodYear.

I know it is not very bad, but it pisses me off everytime I look at it!

ATM drive throughs at my bank scare me sometimes. They dont leave room for any error. They just dont have trucks in mind when they make them, especially not lowerd trucks...the curbs themselves are a danger to the front cover
