Default Hit and run... :(

Driving home last night on a 3-lane express way.. Speed limit is 45mph.we were in the slow lane, a car ramped us by the rear wheel. My car went out of control (180degree) and into the concrete divider, first front wheel then back side, both rear tires blew up... Other driver backed off against traffic and drove away, we tried to catch up but unable to because both rear tires are gone. All 3 wheels are damaged...
Such a sad night..

Hit and run... :(-image.jpg

Holy moly, glad you're alright.

It seems to be a lot of hit n runs lately on the forum. Some people just plain suck at life.

Thanks guys.. I'm glad we were ok as well.. Pretty hard hit into the 4' tall concrete center divider.


Thank God/Buddha
The wheels are forged and strong enough to take all the impacts.. Not much damage to the car.

Wow... sad to see but glad you are alright. Hopefully karma catches up with the other driver.

Seems like no one has any morals anymore, I've been in 2 hit & runs the past year. First, someone rear ended (not the IS) me and then drove away. Luckily they smacked right into the tow hitch so i had minimal damage. Second time, car was parked, and someone hit the rear quarter panel pretty hard and left no notes, nada. This was on christmas day too...

First of all sorry for the accident and glad everyone is OK.

Now on the car. Volk wheels are very strong. Look at them, they are badly bent but not cracked. Good characteristic of high quality wheels.
