bent my volks!!!
long story short, a bus along side of me got WAY too close and basically ran me into a curb destroying 2 of my rims. see attached pics. the rear one looks repairable. can anyone recommend a good volk repair place? the front one is toast. it is a 2 piece wheel and i was wondering if there is anywhere i could buy just the outside barrel of the wheel instead of the whole wheel. sucks to have to pay 750 plus shipping for 1 wheel!

ouch that sucks. was it a public transportation bus? did you get a bus number or anything? i would turn that in and get the city to reimburse you for your damage or at the minimum that they hold the driver responsible for running you off the road.

Volks may not be indestructable but they are certainly the toughest rims you can buy. Your sarcasm is gay.OP were you able to drive home with them like that?? Really sucks, prolly shoulda let the bus hit you.

of course the bus didnt stop. just kept going. didnt catch any kind of marking on it, no witnesses, i'm sure they won't reimburse 
i had to get flatbedded home so i couldn't chase after.
it's good to hear that they might be fixable. i will check with those sites. any others? that front one is pretty bad though. luckily the suspension is just fine, nothing bent. it knocked the alignment out pretty bad but i was able to get that taken care of. my front lip is scraped up pretty bad but luckily it just cleared the curb so no front end damage really. i would really really love it if these were fixable!!!
