dont try this at home
ah, uk roundabouts can be fun, but not on cold tyres.
|
OUCH! Wait... thats a DOUBLE OUCH!
|
eeee....ahhh, well I guess you get a new rim 'eh. ahah
man, how fast were ya goin'? |
i'd just gone half a mile, air temp around 5C (41F) and entered the single lane roundabout at 56mph - i know cos i checked just before i turned. the car understeered and i braked. hit the kerb almost side on (rear took some damage too) maybe 5mph sideways, 25 forwards.
two new rims - £460 - amazingly cheap for the uk - that would have been £1000+ for bee emm wheels. |
Was that with or without DSC?
|
Ouchzors.
Man that is seriously on F*ck'd up wheel... that sucks man. Look at the bright side at least you didn't mess up more!
|
Astor - DSC on. It didnt help - the fronts had no grip - i really didnt realise how much those RE40s have to warm up.
|
I'd be having a good look at the front suspension too after that hit.
|
That's ugly. Maybe cause for a wheel upgrade? :)

I don't know how hard you hit the curb, but I had very similar damage to my wheel after being hit by another car. It wasn't a very hard hit and my suspension was fine. It doesn't take too much to punch a hole in these rims.
|
Loco is right the rims are a bit fragile - but perform ok. They tend to snap more than bend.
|
Eric - not time for a wheel upgrade, but with one puncture i did take the opportunity to purchase two new S-03s :)
|
wow that sucks man. post pics of the new setup when you can
|
Ouch! That had to hurt.
|
Doesn't look very cool there man. Time to go shopping for new rims, or look for people who already purchased new ones and are looking to sell their old ones.
|
at least your axle didnt break...
|
ouch!! is it okay to drive still?? Geez, I think the tire might blow or deflate or something with the rim looking like that...
