I curbed one of my wheels :(
 

Put some air in my tires to discover about a 4" long series of small, deep gashes on the lip of my passenger rear wheel, it thoroughly pissed me the fuck off. I don't remember ever grinding into any curbs.


I don't think it's repairable, if it is it'd probably be cheaper to buy a new wheel.


I'd just like to express my displeasure. :(

eh... just some curb rash, it happens.

i wouldnt worry about it man, i wouldnt see it worth the hassle of getting a new rim...

Curbed FR500 FTL

FR500's < 95 Cobra's

Fixed.

Phail. I've had my rims/tires for 3 months, not a single curb hit. *knock on wood*

Honestly i dislike the 03 cobras, they just look to plain.

Hater. Haha. I don't really know off the top of my head what the 95's look like. So I can't say anything.

they look like this.

Hey, this thread is not about your gay non-DD cobra wheels, k guys? lol

I know i wish i could have gotten deep dish. I apologize for my stupidity. Ok, Kevin?

Accepted, Shaggy.

LMAO Every body at work calls me Shaggy, Its becoming my primary name over there.

Damn man. What a bummer. That would bug the hell out of me. Thats all i would think about looking at the rim if i was you...

poopie.... that sucks. sorry.

It is!! I never want to go near the rear passenger area of my car again, I'm going to get annoyed whenever I clean the wheel now..

Here are a couple of pics.. :(

ah now im parinoid about my black fr's im gona check them first thing in the morning. haha. dude that sucks.

lawl, thats not bad at all!
since the lip is simply polished and unfinished a shop could fix that for less than 50 easily
would have to remove and then remount and balance that tire though, really not about the expense, but rather the hassle

My apologies. Watch your mirrors next time...or just don't parallel park like I avoid.

hell just get a dremel and smooth it out, thats nothing!

learn how to drive pcola!! lol. you actually can have that fixed to a degree...look up wheels repair shops.

now that i got my FR5s i never parallel park, and when it comes to stone drive why im doing like 3mph.:o

im still waiting for pics man..........

Some better pics

How would they fix that? It's kind of irregular and not a simple rash, they'd have to file down a lot of the rim.

/\/\ they would sand it down to a smooth finish and you'd barely notice it after that. it cant be made perfect, but it can be made to look much better than it does.

just go get a dremel tool and do it yourself, just take your time doing it and save yourself some doh!

Fuck you, commie!!!!!!!:t:

red stangs FTW!!!!!
