Wheel + curb = not good

ruffstik · 11-07-2008, 01:04 PM

So I was an idiot at lunch today and managed to hit the curb with my right front wheel. What do you guys sugguest for a fix and how much do you think it will run??

Smallbodybimmer · 11-07-2008, 01:15 PM

Wow. Did you take the extra wheel and tire coverage offered by your dealer? If so see if that is covered

ruffstik · 11-07-2008, 01:22 PM

Nope....didnt opt for the wheel/tire insurance...

i let my bro drive my car and he curbed my CSL's it was 70 bucks i think and they made it so i couldnt even tell it was there.

They being a rim shop.

ruffstik · 11-07-2008, 01:55 PM

$70 bucks isn't too bad. What kind of shop fixes rims. Would a Tires Plus like place do it??

I cubed a wheel once and my wife did it once. It really sucks since we take care of our cars. We had it fixed for about $100 but that was eight years ago. I did it trying to park on an end spot. Two BMW’s later and no cub marks but you have to work to keep it from happening. Be lucky our cars are not lower. My Z4 was so low when my wife (at least I tried to blame her

) pulled up to one of those concrete parking stops the spoiler hit the concrete and cracked the grill in the spoiler.

There is a thread that shows how to fix a wheel. If my wife ever does it again:wink: I will fix it myself but I am a DIY kind of guy.

For a longer term solution you should look into a passanger door mirror that changes angle when reversing, so it gives a view of the curb! I can't imagine it would be very hard to install.
