Wrecked my baby last night, lost control in the rain after a car cut me off, i pulled a 360 over a curbed median and stopped when i hit a high curb facing oncoming traffic. Luckily no one was hurt and no other cars were involved. Around 400 bucks of damage not including rims and tires. Need a new lca assembly, and some other stuff, cant even remember right now, my mind is still blanking out.

Anyway question i wanted to ask was, should this have happened to my rim? I would htink the rim would bend well before it would break, id say i only hit about 35 mph. Doesnt make me feel extremely safe riding on these rims




* forgot to add there was no body damage...until the tow truck took it off the curb, my bumper got it kind ofnasty, but its not enough for me to get a new one right now. since money will be running a bit short. Ball joint, tie rod, and lca assembly need to be replaced. I think that was it. plus obviously front rim and tire, and my right rear rim after hitting the first curb.

Glad you didn't get hurt and sorry about the damage. Won't insurance cover most of it?

deductible is 500, parts + labor is under 500 cause we're having a friend do it. Im putting my stock rims back on until i can get new ones. Don't want to claim it.
