So, it's last Friday on way back home from a night out for my boy's birthday, I fell a sleep at the wheel. I wrote up to a bang no louder than you would heard when you hit a pothole, and I realized I drifted like 2 feet from my lane into the left shoulder. I stopped, put on my hazards and stepped out my G, looked at my rims and I also **** myself. Being that I was only like 2 minutes from my house I drove my hurt G back home. I checked out the damage on Saturday morning when I get up, and it was not as bad as I thought, I chipped some paint off on my front fender, and I have a few other small scars. However it's nothing a little touch-up paint, wet 2000 grit sandpaper, and my Porter cable can't fix. Now to big problem, I have set of new forged rims in my house, but they still need to be striped, and re-powder coated (I already striped one down, and I don't want to look ghetto but throwing them on), and I sold my stock 19" a while back, so I was rimless. Lucky me my friend just got new rims that Thursday, and is stocks were still at the tire shop with tires. So I'm borrowing his stocks for now, until mine new one are powder coated, and I buy some new tires. When I removed my destroyed rims, I was happy to find I have no major damage, no bend Camber arms, tie rods, toe arm, etc. The only thing is a slice in my rear plastic fender cover thing.

And Yes I know you get what you pay for, but when I got these rims 3 years ago, I didn't know anything about forged vs cast rims, the only thing I cared about was non 5 spoke Black rim with a nice Chrome lip.

Thanks to 3Buddha5, Blkout350GT and jtcohen

Now for the pictures.

My rear after



My slice fender plastic cover and chipped paint



As much as this sucks, It could have been way worst, I'm thankful it was not. So there are two live lessons to be learned here:

1. DON'T DRIVE WHEN YOU ARE TRIED.
2. DON'T BUY CHEAP CASTED RIMS

My rims were made by Speedy wheels, the model was the Octane, the specs are {Front: 19 x 8.5 + 20 offest, Rear: 19 x 9.5 +30 offest.}

 

oh man sorry bout the accident, at least you made it out ok. Good luck with the repairs.
