so im pullin in to nortons sterio to get my new pimp viper alarm. the guy says pull around to door 5, so i go to back out and my brand new volk gt-7 rim hits this piece of concrete gauging a 3 inch gash into my rim. i friggin threw up and im not kidding. The guy was like whats wrong are you ok and as i was peuking i was pointing at the wheel. I need a new volk wheel 9.5 19' 30 offset please help

 

god damn horse shet bump friggin pissed

 

damm man i know how it will feel

 

thats the worst F@#$@king thing ive ever heard

 

that sucks bro.. sorry to hear that but i laughed out loud when you said you threw up sorry....

 

mann it was dreadful and this was @11:00 am and it took this clown until 6:00pm to finish the install. 7 hours of hell. i was so pissed about the rim the alarm wasn't really on my mind. I really would'nt wish that feeling on anyone

 

how was it not there when you pulled in but was when you pulled out?

 

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

 

major "oh shzit" situ. makes you wanna park far away from every possible thing.

 

its the kinda **** that will make a salty solution fall from your eyes. its not like i can go get another rim tomarrow. nobody has these wheels its a 4 month wait

 

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

 

I dont think it can be repaired and even if it can i would probably pay the same for a new rim. this **** is baddddddddddddd

 

thanks for all your help, evolution doesnt have a rim and thats the only place that was open for me to call. if anyone knows where i can get a new wheel soon let me know thanks

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).

Sounds about like me when I did this: (*edit* and yes that bumper in the background is mine too )

 

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.

 

Check this place out for repair

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...
