It was those concrete 6 foot blocks that are at the end of a parking space. they were not even with each other and there were no lines to park in between. I guess i parked to close to the passenger one and when i cut the wheels to back out it was the worst sound i have ever heard. I prayed to god it was my greddy front lip but it wasn't

Have it sent out to get repaired. I have seen some AMAZING work done. Your insurance might even cover the repair.

I'm 99.9% sure that it can be repaired. Unless it's broken in half, there sholdn't be any problem. Especially if its just a gash. Honestly I was super **** about my rims as well...till I moved out to a nice place in LA called Brentwood (lived right in the middle of Brentwood/Beverly Hills/Santa Monica/Bel Air). I can't even explain to you how it feels to turn into a road (Veteran st) and just stare at the maze of pot holes that you have to avoid, though you know you can't.

Also try driving on some of our famous roads like Sunset Blvd (405 side).

Wow my condolences...

I've had a few close calls myself *knock on wood* but you should definitely get an estimate on them being fixed.

It's just the barrel I'm assuming? Easier to color match the polished lip than the actual inner rim.

$100-200 will probably beat the $500-600 + shipping and waiting that you have to pay for a new wheel.

I think that +30 offset in Spark Silver is going to be very difficult to find especially since you need 1. Might try calling Mackin direct to see if they have any in stock.

You threw up?! Please tell me you were also a bit sick, because, no offense man, and I know that really sucks, but even if my car got smashed to hell... as long as no one got hurt, I doubt I would puke abuot it...

Anyhow.. sorry about that, I hope it gets resolved cheaply...
