Default just fudged up my rim

yea well i was pulling into my driveway of my apt and i took the turn a bit too sharp. ended up hitting the curb on my rear passenger wheel/rim. looked at the damage and now there a nice little scrape on the lip of the rim. DAMMIT! i was doing so well to be careful while driving, even when i parallel park i'm like 10 inches away from the curb.

i was on my way to chi town and it was wet so there were puddles all over and they all looked shallow, i hit one doin like 70 sumthin and it was a pothole, bigger than my 18" rims and it shot my into the far right lane and knocked my car out of alignment. my beautiful RO_JA rims have a nice bend now

I hate pot holes! they're everywhere in MN! I've jack my rim so bad before hitting a pot hole the tire went flat in about 30 seconds. I had to take a large hammer and pound it out just so I could get it to hold air.

Sorry about the Wheel man...happens to the best of us [:@]

That's nothing, I scraped a rim before it was even on the car for the first time.
I stood the tire upright and walked away to get a wheel nut, the wind blew the wheel down, front side down.
