Default curbed my wheel

i can't describe how pissed i am right now. lining it up perfect and i hit a small dip and hear a "scraaaaaaaaaaape" i got the rota timeattack wanna-be's and i took the red lip off. like a good 6 inches of it. i'm so PO'd i can't get over it. i'd show u a pic but it's too dark to get a good pic maybe tomorrow so you can all laugh at me.

sorry but i needed to rant...

man...I know the feeling. Had my share of curbing wheels in the past (my biggest pet-peeve ever!) You'll get over it bro...bring it to a shop and have them redo it. Usually costs $75 to $125.

If I ever curb my Volks I'll go insane lol

lol I love the new sig bro! As for the car I sold my soul for 4 years working weedays + weekends...(I'm a free man now though...no more weekends! )plus I'm sure you got other things to worry about like a mortgage and such.

I'm actually trying to get my fun stuff for the car in right now haha I know for sure that after I graduate next year all my money will go into paying off the student loans and saving for a home.

I keep buying stuff <---*** Look at the itrader*** but my car still looks the same. I need some Nismo USDM side skirts bad Might have to break down soon and buy them from the stealership because people aren't really selling them for a good price here.

I've curbed a wheel ONCE, from then on i just always took my time and stayed aware of my surroundings when parking and driving. Never happened again!! Just be more careful, it's nto hard to keep them curb free. Sorry to hear! Bet you wont do it again, that's a sick sound!

thats the beauty of rota wheels... they are easily replacable due to low cost.
