i hope insurance covers this

 

ouch, glad you're ok. how fast were you going? just curious what it takes to do that to a rim. hopefully it didn't do anything to the suspension, looks like just replace the wheel and you're good to go.

 

wtf happened?

 

Ouch! You have to watch out for those curbs...I hear they are vicious!!

 

Worst case of curb rash I've ever seen. It's amazing that the tire is still holding air!

Five hundred bucks for a new one, my friend. Probably just about exactly your deductable.

 

i was doing only about 30 up a curvy road by my house and started to skid..... i hit the curb on the right side then skidded over the yellow line before i gainned control again

 

That stinks, good thing you didn't get hurt and the car only got a bum foot from the adventure.

If you decide it is time to upgrade your wheels you will likely have no problems selling the other three to people on the forum who want another full size factory wheel for a spare or to replace a scuffed one.

Just something to think about

 

this is time to upgrade ur wheel, hope ur suspension is ok >.<

 

I wouldn't submit this as a claim if I were you. In most cases if the carrier pays $1,000 or more on an at fault claim, they will surcharge your auto policy for 3 years. It depends on the carrier but it is usually around $400. Some carriers have an accident forgiveness for the first accident, but I'd save that for a really rainy day.

Glad it is just the rim and how the hell did the tire hold up??!! ... LOL

 

wow, that rim is F***ED up!! i would say sell the other three and upgrade.

 

damn that's some insane damage

 

how did air stay in that tire?

 

No big deal. It's just a wheel. You can buy from someone here on the forums for not too much $$$. Any type of body damage would have been a lot worse.

 

it's getting too cold for the stock dunlops up here in the NE. i just made the swap to winters since the summers were starting to feel too slick.

 

Ouch bro.

 

might not be just the wheel, could have tweaked the suspension, you should definitely have it checked out. if it IS just the wheel or if its anywhere near your deductible then i wouldn't go through insurance, just get yourself a nice set of aftermarket wheels

 

damn!!! lucky nothing happend to your susp. or even worse your body....yeah those curbs are a bitch, they dont move for ****!

 

wow. that's nasty. I hope you're not driving that - it's gonna blowout any second now.

I agree - don't claim it on insurance. It's not worth it. Buy a new one, or sell the other 3 and upgrade to something new.

 

+1 for not claiming it since your vehicle was the only one damaged and you can repair it for less then your deductible.

 

Don't bother claiming it as others have said...

Check your suspension, and get an alignment for sure..

time for some new wheels!.

 

man that blows!

 

i dont even know what a suspension looks like.... im going to get it checked out but i dont know when. times are hard and christmas is coming

 

I agree, do not go to insurance. Time for new wheels, sell the other three. Is the tire completely fine? You can probably walk away with $500 if you sold everything.

 

omfg..how fast did you hit the curb?

that sucks
but a used oem rim and tire cost only around 100
check the for sale section

hopefully, your suspension is ok...

 

wow.the cheapest way out of this would be to get a reconditioned rim to replace it.
