i hit a curb at about 35-40 ish and it totally curb the living crap out of my wheels not only that it broke my camber arm so now the rear right rears are bent in towards the front. hopefully thats all the damage it did to the suspension. now my question is that are these curb damage repairable and where is a best place to get it done

omg man thats insane, how the f*ck!

anyway, no its probably not worth fixing that much curb rash.God dam chunks missing. Especially on horrible looking wheels that look like the ones on my mongoose in 8th grade

Racing Hart S3 Pros are a 2 piece wheel. Maybe there are some rebarrel options you can look into if you want to save them. Pretty rare to see nowadays.

^^^ per wheel?

thats for both

If you hit a curb at speed you should do a runout of the wheels to make sure they're not bent in any weird ways. I bought some wheels off of someone that had them on their 240SX and the barrel was bent weird on one wheel because he hit a wall. Luckily it was repairable though.

Wheels can be refinished but you will have to do 4 so they look the same. Wheel in photo needs a new barrel. About $800/4.

Info on how you curbed going 30-40?

kevincat

iTrader: (12)

it wasnt necessary 30-40 but felt like it. i was trying to catch the green light for the left turn. but i guess i forgot the road was wet form the rain earlier so it slid right into the curb.

Not a fan of your wheels...
On the curbed one,trash it.
Unless you want to settle for it looking bad with a fix that will
not match the others.
Buy a new wheel,if you can find one.
Or,better yet,get a new st and start over.

I must exit the thread now because I hate curb rash so much this hurts me. Hope everything works out.

Find a reputable company you trust to help you out with your wheels, read reviews etc. It will be better to just get them fixed before whenever you sell them (if you decide to). You will get all sort of lowballs with that amount of curb rash.
