Blew out both passenger side tires. Dented both rims. Sucks. I limped home ~2 miles after swapping the front with the spare. I should not have swapped the rear out, instead, should I?
Well just got my GS up and running last week. Had a knot on my sidewall when I brought it home last night. I was going to pickup wheel adapters in the morning to run a set of aftermarket 19 in BMW wheels. Come outside and tire is flat! Spare is on the car! Damn! So I take my wife's car in search of a used tire just to get to work. Found 1! Car been sitting so long had to use my impact gun to remove. So I got 45 min to get to work. Stop to get some food for work and hit A POTHOLE! Bused tire and Crack RIM! Jackson, Mississippi street have to be the ABSOLUTE WORSE IN THE US! So in closing caught up with my cousin and swiped 1 of his factory 16's and I'm on the Road Again!

I feel youre pain. I didnt see a massive pothole last night and hit my wheel on my fender very very hard. Chipped my driver front wheel bigtime. Glad they are just stock f sport wheels but still 300-400 a wheel. If they were ccws or hres I woulda lost my ish.=(
Rear pad change including tossing the old wheel locks (didn't get the key with the car) and putting anti seize on the wheel studs....who knows when the last time it was used....and the wheel nuts had been tightened by a gorilla!

hey dreamcar88 here in Atlanta we have a company called Wheel Wizard that can repair wheels at a decent cost. I had a set of IS350C wheels completely repaired and powdercoated to original color, or a color of your choice. One wheel was bent real bad and they welded, machined and trued it up perfectly for $145.00 per wheel. That included dis-mount -- re-mount the tire, balance, powder coat and shipping. (Local pick-up only) I'd check around your area to see of there might be a local company that can do the same. Or worst case go to
car-part.com and search for a used one. DC
