Ugh, previous owner to my eight got curb rash on one of the wheels right before he traded it in. They knocked the price down $2000 when I mentioned it though, believe it or not!

It could be worse!

All my wheels have a little curb rash from previous owners, but this takes the cake. I can't believe I wasn't paying attention! Wasn't even in a rush, just riding around checking out the changes I made to my tune... Luckily, Hesselrode is going to let me trade +cash for one of his oem rims when he puts his new rims on. I already attempted to fix the bumper with touch-up paint, looks like ****.

Sad day man. BUT Maybe you can use this as a time to trick yourself into thinking you need some new, better looking, aftermarket wheels!

they are stock wheels...not a huge loss here. Curbing a TE37 is a big deal. Consider this a blessing...and get nice some nice, new aftermarkets. You will be glad you did.

New Rims are really out of reach.. The only rims I like more than the oem's are the R3's... which are pricey.

Almost the same story here. Previous owner had dented 3 out of the 4 wheels. But the dealer didn't give me that big of a discount!!!!

(They did give me a discount on the extended warranty I purchased though)
