ok guys..such a sad day for me..parking near downtown today and smash...curb rash all over front right rim..so disgusted at myself..can ne1 talk me into feelin mayb a lil better bout it?

 

I dunno what to say to make you feel better... except that the dealership I work at has a surplus of new 17" wheels that we are trying to get rid of. New with no tire is $100 per wheel plus $30 shipping.

 

Just have the attitude of "Well, at least I got that over and done with"

 

hey its alright... happened to me my 2nd day with my new rims (5 days ago)... actually i'm still not over it, so i cant help ya. help me :oops:
anyone know if you can buy "hyperblack" paint for rims???

 

Don't worry. I've done this to BOTH front rims/tires when parking next to a curb. Both times I ripped the tire. Costed me $230 for one tire alone. (Bridgestone Potenza 215/45ZR17). I scrapped 1" on the left front rim and about 4" on the right one. It hurts but its not very noticible. You'll be fine!

 

thanks for the comforting guys..ill try to sleep on it..all i need is some comforting for these f'n redsox

 

if it makes you feel a little better at least your not a BMW owner,

a E39 M5 (Current Generation) a wheel cost $500 just for the front!!

if a BMW customer has bent wheels and all four tires are bad he will have to pay not including labor it will cost him or her about $4000 in parts and labor. and their usually not kept in parts stock.

do what i did with my old car. flat black em' they look cool with any color and when you scratch them all you gotta do is repaint them! but i know thats not an option for most of us. don't worry guy, it happends to the best of us!

 

If you could afford a BMW M5, paying $500 for a rim you scratched would'nt be too bad
