OK I was driving home from a party Sunday night / Monday morning when I decided on saving $3.50 by taking the Brooklyn Bridge instead of the Battery Tunnel. Embarassed

As I started to drive up Chambers Street all I saw were metal plates all over the place and before I knew it I hear a loud Bang! I immediately pull over cause I knew it was bad but little did I know how bad it would be. :nervous:

I get out the car and go over the passenger side where I see the tire is flat but as I start to investigate I notice the rim is really bent.  Mad So I head to the rear of the car in order to pull out my flimsy spare when I realize the rear wheel was affected by the pothole as well.  Evil or Very Mad

Thankfully I changed the front quick enough to where I was able to drive home 95% of the way before the rear tire finally gave out. But I spent most of yesterday changing back to my factory 16 "s while thinking to myself why I didn't just take the Tunnel.  Rolling Eyes

Here are some pictures of the rims,
BTW I am using Imagestation so you know the deal.  Rolling Eyes Copy the url if you would like to see

 
 
 
 
 
 


Fortunately, I am in the process of picking up some 18"s however, its unfortunate being I was going to eventually use these as my winter wheels.

Larry,

Sorry to hear about that man. And btw - you really need to switch to our hosting service (even at a massively reduced fee).

Hopefully the hunt for new wheels goes well.

Yeah it hurts being how much I have grown to like these rims and came to the decision of keeping them for the winters. But now that I have them off and look at the 8 with those horrible factory rims it looks as if I'll be taking a certain members rims very soon.  Wink
