View Full Version : One, Two, Two Flat Broken Rims - Ha, Ha, Ha
Hi all,
Well, it turns out that I got two flats tonight - instead of just one like we thought earlier - Watch out for the offramp from 880 South onto 280 N down by santanna row / valley fair.
FU&*@#&*$*&!!!!!!! Two flats!!!!!! And one of the rims is really bent on the lip. The other rim doesn't look bent but it's not holding tire pressure. Me and Trung switched out the front flat which had the really bent rim with the back tire on the badly hit side. The back tire looked fine (which we put on the front) but it seems like it's not holding pressure. It went flat on my way home from Stevens Creek.
Crap. Need a good place for rims and tires. America's Discount Tires?

SpoonKiller 01-05-2008, 06:47 PM I don't know what the hell they do on 880, but my wife gets a flat from nails in the roadway about every 6 months on her Jetta. Costco's been good about fixing them for free, hopefully Toyota will be as accommodating when she gets one in the xD.

Thanks Alan, Give me a call when you get in. I'd need you to bring the wheels to my place. Give me a call on my cell. Thanks. I think I will only need to borrow them for a while (I Hope)
theoneandonly 01-06-2008, 02:29 AM Ed~ that sucks. i just got my exhaust done by Gabe and noticed the tire place next to it. My wife met the owner today. Might want to talk to Gabe and see if he knows the owner too. Might be able to hook you up. If not i'm sure you could prabably find a set on here. Also my brother-in-law has a stock set. I'll give him a call and see what he says. If he can part with two till you get them fixed i'll let you know. good luck.
Yeah, I know about Auto Innovations. They're pretty pricey but I hear the quality is really good. They're really good at doing alignments in the south bay and everyone in the south bay goes to them if their cars aren't tracking right.
SquallLHeart 01-07-2008, 08:01 AM erghhh.. you should take some pics Ed... as sad as they are...

Heh - I thought you had bitten your freaking tounge in half. I looked over and was expecting to see blood gushing out your mouth and I was thinking - "Dammit - now I need to take Trung to the hospital to get his tounge sewn back on."

Red_xD 01-08-2008, 07:30 AM Damn, Ed...sorry to hear it...I better stay away from 880/280...is it just the off-ramp? Or also a section of 880???
SquallLHeart 01-08-2008, 07:48 AM it was going onto the off-ramp
AznDreamer284 01-08-2008, 10:41 AM Ed!! I am sorry to hear what happened. Hope everything will work out for you! Thanks for telling us where the bad area is! Take care mang . . see ya around.
SUP TRUNG!?!? Haven't seen you in like . . forever!! Hopefully, I can see ya again soon buddy! Take care too mang.
CatalepsicFox 01-09-2008, 03:16 AM If you want some tires I have some kinda worn off tires if you want been sitting in my backyard for a like 6 months or so. If you want it you can have them for free.
sciontc0115 01-09-2008, 03:36 AM GOOD JOB on the two bent rims ;) im glad we solved ur problem at least for alittle while. Just think of it as a reason to get aftermarket rims. hehe
theoneandonly 01-09-2008, 09:14 PM did you get them taken care of yet? It really sucks that it happened...
Sort of - Alan lent me two of his stock alloys. I'm going to need to buy new wheels at some point. It would cost just as much to fix them as to just buy new ones. On top of that, I needed new tires anyways. On top of that, I need new shocks too. Yeah, it's going to be an expensive January.
