Scraped My Rim And Tire!

What do i do?! I went to go pick up food for my father and i, and a guy came out crooked from the parking lot so i had to try and squeeze around him to get into the lot, so i didnt realize that an island was right where i came in to the right. My back right wheel hit the HELL outta the island. It scraped it bad and it took a small chunk out of my tire. But not enough to make the tire go flat. I'll take some pics and post em. But its so ugly looking. And now, my tire pressure monitor light came on but all the tires are fine...i checked them. HELLLP!

OEM wheels are very easy to repair, Lots of dealer uses this www.mobilewheelrepair.com they are great for OEM but won't trust them on aftermarket (Volk, Work..etc) wheels. If you want a step up then there is one in PA http://www.wheelcollision.com/ I shipped my Work to http://www.slmetals.com/ in West Babylon, NY they are great in aftermarket wheels...

oh no0o0o00000000zzzzz


sorry for your crappy luck. Any scar on the OEM 19" looks very painful. Here's to hoping you don't get shafted for the repair bill.

OEM repair is a lot cheaper, I tried to call one of the guy on www.mobilewheelrepair.com and he quoted me for $70 for OEM wheels the other was $90 so it depends who you talk to. Honestly your scratch isn't that bad, you'll forget about it after awhile, it's more painful if you scratch your $4000 wheels though
