the guy from wheel collision took a break from picking up girls in vegas to respond to my email. he says the front one is toast and the rear is questionable. he says just buy 2 new rims if they are still available ($$$). any other wheel repair places i can try?

if i can get these fixed for ~$200 per wheel, id rather do that than put it through insurance. my rates are high enough. i guess we'll see if these are fixable

I would like to see your scientific proof of this.... I have seen a wheels company curb wheels, and even do burnouts on pavement WITHOUT tires and still no scratchs...... Soon as I Find the link i'll post it.

I don't know. This video has been posted many times on this site.

I wish I could find the dang vid im talking about. Granted I would never run the wheel sim talking about. they probably weigh 50lbs a wheel lol.

Im not arguing that VOLKS are tip top of the line, But I would rather have 2 sets of my RPF1's for for set of Volks. Weigh identical I think, and mine aren't as strong, but I don't hit things, and if I do 300 a wheel is better than 760 I still have yet to justify Volks, look and perform bad *** none the less.

OP were you able to drive home with them like that?? Really sucks, prolly shoulda let the bus hit you.
I knew someone would take the bait. The only reason I wrote this, was because everytime someone says something negative about Volk wheels on this forum someone has to come to the defense. If you looked at my post correctly you could see I was joking. Also for you to call me gay without even knowing me is ignorant. FYI, I do own Volk wheels and they are not my first set. I also believe they are some of the best wheels out there, but I do not get bent out of shape when someone says something negative about them.

Honestly by the time you ship these out and have them repaired you are looking close to new price. I would contact insurance and the county on exact location/date/time this happened. The buses are all on a schedule and can be pinpointed. GL
