A pic before i put my wheels back on...

I bent a wheel a little while back... pretty nasty bend . The only problem I have is that without the wheels on, the car sits too low! I will post pics of the newly repaired and repolished wheels soon...

(sorry for the bad images... off of a cell phone.)


The bent wheel...





Being way too low... Granted its a sloped driveway.

New curb... I wish I had a better story to tell. I came around a turn in DC that I drift half the time but I was driving home from a club (didnt drink and left early because my buddy had a flight to catch) and driving slow and it came out and bit me! lol The only excuse I have is that I wasnt paying attention.

Which curb!?!? I'll have to look out for that... And I'm really sorry to see a set of GT-S bent like that. I'm considering a set of these soon - considering how hard it hit is it about as bent as you expected or do you think it shouldn't have bent so badly?

it happened in front of the exorcist stairs in georgetown. after it hit the curb, i expected the wheel to be in pieces... to my surprise it took the impact amazingly well!
