#2686, "Look out! Curb!"


          

Last thing I heard before I hit it. Fucking scrapped my brand new Monsoons. My car is a daily driver so it expected it to happen. My question...can it be repaired? It all jagged and scraped it two spots.

Yes, people here have had their rims repaired. Should be too bad especially since it sounds lik eyou didn;t bend the hell out of it and it still hold tire pressure.

AHHH another victim of the evil curb. Really you can get them repaired, I curbsided not too long ago and the wheel tore straight off of the car, oh yeah I heard a scrape but the car had on 3 legs! I'll say this the 97+ GST 5 spoke rims are tough!!! There is just this massive curb mark on it but it's not bent. I'm gonna leave it there as a battle scar though, remind me how expensive drifting is haha!!! I believe Enkei makes the 5 spoke rims for the Eclipse. Monsoons look like em but those weigh a lot compared to these I think.

I got pics but no scanner. Its not really bad just one of those things you know is there and it bothers you. I figure it can be sanded down and smoothed out but I'm really not sure. Its not bent, thank God, but it sticks out like a sore thumb to me. I did find a place in town that said they wouldn't mind giving it a shot. I'll let you u guys know how it comes out. Hopefully I can see how they fix it so I can pass the "know how" on to those who would like to know.
