Actually, it happened while driving home today. In the middle of the left lane on the highway there was a piece of angle iron about 4" high by 2' wide. Traffic was pretty thick and before I could swerve out of the way, I nailed it doing about 50 mph. Took out the front wheel and sliced the tire. Flattened the real tire as well. The rear wheel looks okay, but I won't know the extent of any damage until I have the tire removed. Luckily, there doesn't appear to be any damage to the car.

 

On a brighter note, it will make a nice 19" Cargraphic coffee table!

 

OUCH, I feel for you with that one.

 

it would have to go back to germany if you want it fixed...shipping back and forth will cost more than replacing the wheel

they dont sell rim parts outside of the factory for warranty reasons...this is why they always tell you they cant sell you the lips..

 

Here is a pics of my first wall rash

 

and lose control. How many miles do you have on those tires? I blew one rear and replaced two due to the mileage and even wear issues...

 

Jeru, that looks like Homer Simpsons car when he drove with the parking violation "boot" on it in New York.

 

Jese Eric I you trying to wreck the thing before you get the TT.... ouch Im sorry to see that!! Good thinking not to swerve into traffic.. thats a sticky situation to be in!

 

I would cry.... if I do that to my TT

 

ESK,
looks like u have a nice GT3 body kit sweet!
my cargraphics should go on one Friday. just can't wait...

 

All one can say is OUCH!!!! Good thing you were able to keep control and only have damage to the wheel and rubber...

And no, You can't have the HRE's back....

 

Gary, how did you know I was going to ask you that question?

Kevin, I'm trying to keep the wheels in one piece in anticipation of selling them when I get the TT.

Eric,

Dropped my car off yesterday to install the techart body pieces. I will post some good pictures when it is done and you can see how sweet your old wheels really were... (even on backwards ) Hope to have it back by the weekend.
