This is Awful.
I pulled out on a 5 lane road (middle is turning lane) and as i turn left going like 30 I see a car that is coming up the hill behind me pretty fast. (speed limit is 55) so as i try to get on the right lane my car slides towards the F'n right and hits the curb, I go over the curb and my rear tires also hit it. So all 4 tires hit the curb, but only the right wheels are messed up, and the rear tire.I will lift the car tomorrow and see if there is any dmage to the wheels on the inside. I didnt see anything like exhaust hanging and the car sounds fine. Also the body is intact.
HOw is it possible that i didnt hit the curb with my front lip? GOD maybe?

I looked up the description on the Bridgestone Turanzas ER33 and it says that these are not met to be driven on near freezing conditions. It was in the high 30's at the time.

Ive searched already and couldnt find much on 08 wheels being replaced. am i going to be able to get 08's since the new 09 doesnt have the same ones? are they hard to find?

what could be wrong with the car? Upper arm, lower arm? can the struts/ springs be damaged?

when I drive it, it pulls to the left A LOT. what does that mean?
It also RUBS when i turn the wheel some to the left.

appreciate the help and comments

Just get it checked out. Might be axles. Since you hit it at high speed. Also, you might need to get an alignment too. Judging from the pictures. Seems like your wheels are done for. It will be very difficult to repair that. Might as well just grab some new ones. They are pretty cheap. But this can be a excuse to get new rims? Good luck

damn that sucks man! sorry to hear

Dont tempt me man. hehe. I think i will claim insurance and just pay the deductible. I mean, 2 wheels (at least) plus one tire (at least) is already a good bit. if they find anything like lower arm, and have to do an alignment, It will definitely be worth claiming the insurance. how much will axels be?
what u think?

Man. Did this for the first time after driving for 8 yrs. Wanted to look like a badass so I took a hard right turn in front of some jogging girls that go to USC but one of them was so stunning that I kinda lost track to where I was on the turn and yeah..nailed my right rear wheel. so much for immaculate perfect wheels..OTD now. stupid girls Get the factory G-Spider wheels..they're pretty cheap for what they are..

sorry to hear that.......

1. check alignment and suspension for possible damage......

2. ER33 are WAY below par...they suck. period.

Good time to ditch the spacers for some mooncake.

would the insurance company pay for anything that is not OEM?

I'm really sorry to see that! Hopefully it all gets fixed up properly.

If you're interested, I'm unloading my stock 18" Turanzas. They're pretty much like new, considering I only drove on them for 2 months (I bought summer wheels/tires and winter tires for my OEM wheels). PM me if you're interested in purchasing the tires. They're at a discount from tire rack prices.
