Not even 2k miles on my new 07 Z and I managed to hit a curb while backing out and scuffing my wheel. I have the factory 5 spoke alloy wheels, does anyone know if there is anyway the wheel can be repaired or will i just need to buy a new one?

If so, any ideas on what a new wheel may cost? I'm thinking I may be able to dig around in classifieds and find someone who went with aftermarket wheels, HOPEFULLY!!

I'm not used to driving a car that sits so low and sometimes its hard to see what's around you. Once you hit something it's quite evident though, haha.

Thank

 

i just ran a search and found a lot of you went through the same painful feeling that i did last night. honestly, it does make me feel a bit better knowing im not the only idiot who curbs his wheels in the first few weeks of owning!!

 

yep, I did the same pulling out of the bank within the 2 weeks of owning it.

 

this is why it's a good idea to hold off on aftermarket wheels 'til you get better acquainted with your Z.

 

at least your dad didn't curb your new volks when he was moving you car. Worst part about that is you can't be mad at him

 

^^^ ouch

 

^^ yes, u can.. what are u 16?

 

i'm 24, and considering he put a roof over my head my for 22 of those years, no you can't really get mad at someone who does that for you.
