caught some air in the g /:

last night leaving the woman's neighborhood i swerved to avoid a deer, since i've already been there done that i decided i didnt want to have to deal with all the sh*t that's imminent with hitting a deer.

so, before i know it im in someones front yard going about 25 sideways watching the culvert get closer and closer.

boom, boom, BAM.

flew about 12 feet..

and here we are







basically what im trying to do is ask all of you what wheels to get, looking for 20's.

haha, because its quite apparent those rims are f*cked

(:

oh and just in case anyone cares, i went to get everything all aligned/balanced etc. and it was off by about this much -- things a tank

^ Haha, trust me, I'm well aware.

Literally nothing is messed up though, surprisingly. Just the rims are scratched to sh*t

damn!!!

and only the rims got messed up? lucky guy.

And on the bright side, you're forced to do an upgrade, 19's or 20's definitely work.

You might want to get a shop to check out your alignment and make sure nothing was bent.

while I did not have the same driving issue (thank god), I do have some scratches on my rims. I want to upgrade, but I was wondering what people think is the best size for a G sedan sport, 18", 19" or 20"? Also, should I stick with the staggered setup of the sport or go with the same size all around?

im glad your ok and have very minimal damage.

But that is exactly why I’m glad I have the 19" FORGED rims, they don’t bend or brake regardless of what hits it.

A similar scenario happened to my friends EVO with BBS Forged rims and he jumped in the air after he hit the curve and all that happened was a little chip on the lip of the rim.

FORGED rims are amazing but hey you got lucky with no body damage, but definitely check to see if you need an alignment after that kind of hit.
