*HELP* What Am i supposed to do about this WARNING Disturbing Pictures!!!!

Ok so i was in tallahasse i was up way way way too early for work and i was driving to work and slightly swerved and skimmed the curb with my rims and now im screwed.... Any chance this is covered in warranty.... you cant really tell unless your close up or your looking for it. Now i have to decide whether to get new rims then body kit or body kit and then rims ...UGH..

No way that'll be covered under warranty. That's how mine looked when I wrecked.

Get one spare rim (from me that is ), then save the rest of the money on other stuff... such as the Body kit or future rims.

It is possible to get them repaired if you want to go that route. You can even tell them to not powder coat them and you'll end up with polished rims.

he's lost too much metal...i don't think that rim is really fixable. you should just buy the rim outlaw is offering, then buy that bodykit. cause it sounds like you want the kit more than anything.

Wait until you see a rim available in the For Sale section....you can easily get one for ~$150 or less here or on E-Bay.

Actually, I have one that's available. Not great condition (small curb rub), but not as bad as these.

Did you say you SKIMMED a curb? The pic I attached below is what skimming a curb looks like. With your pics, on the other hand, it looks more like you FED the curb your wheel. Bummer man...if you usually give frequent donations to the curb foundation I advise you sell your stock rims and get chrome ones. At least the next time you skim they won't look as noticeable.

Just out of curiosity, is that last picture turned on it's side? I ask because of the location of the caliper.

OK, wow, that's a pretty sad story OP. But, just curious here, in what plane of reality are you living in even THINKING that you running into a curb would be covered under warranty?
