Argh. So Ive been super careful with my rims (they're just the stockers, but I love em) and have not had a single scratch. Parallel parked a million times, and nothing. Then I make a right turn into subway and somehow catch the right rear on the damn curb. And now it looks like this (sorry for the crappy pic). AAAAAAH!!! Is this even salvageable? How much? Any recommendations on where to go?

 

Yeah thats looks salvagable. Just take it to a wheel shop and you should be good to go.

 

Hey! I have one of those on the front left that the previous owner put on for me

 

don't even fret. you should see the condition my 06 oem rims are in

good thing they're not on the car.. it was kinda getting embarassing to drive them them

 

That's nothing man. I have half the radius of the entire rear right wheel curbed 1 week after I got my Z, I wasn't used to the low profile unlike my old beater.

 

dunno if you guys can see this, as i've linked it from facebook, but check out the damage on my wheel in the forefront of the pic.. i laughed.

 

previous owner loved the curb. I have it all over the 4 wheels.

 

Dont worry I got a small one on my front passenger side from the previous owner as well! It would be even worse if you got it fixed right away and then had something else happen

 

Don't you love tire rotations?

 

Curbs in Maryland are stationary. Its the law.

 

That silver car looks good though

 

that's ben's car.. he's boneout jzsomethingsomething [#'s] on here.

With a little patience, you might be able to do what this guy did. G/L.

 

i messed mine up the second day i had it. i was parking it across the street half asleep. bad idea.

 

that guy did a pretty good job

 

You just have to be really **** about parallel parking.....I don't have a scratch on my rims, not even my 99 Prelude.....I haven't check the rims on the MPV though

 

try buying the car with already curbed Volks. Its enough to bring a tear to your eye every time you look at them

 

My buddy bought his Z about a month ago with all 4 wheels rashed. They're ADR's so they're cheap on ebay, but still a pain. It can really show you alot about the previous owner and how they kept up the car. On that note, we all make a mistake now and then, just saying some people don't pay any attention.

 

I have bad dreams about this stuff happening to my SSR's :0 I'm thinking of taking them off and putting them aside and use them for shows and big meets only.
