My friend was driven my car and the driving and did a little drift around the corner and hit the drivers side tire on the curb now my rim has a big scratch but it is not dented or bent. I know that cause i put the spare on and my car was still driving ****ed up. Ok it feels like its like the alignment is totaly ****ed up or something is bent we dont know we need some ideas for when we take it in tommarow??????? (by the way friend is a best friend and he is payin for it all)

first off, to buy you a used wheel go to http://www.car-parts.com, that search engine is awsome.

second off, sounds like its just your aligment is messed up. go to tirediscounter or somewhere and get it fixed.

Goodluck though

The hub might have gotten ****ed up. I think the previous owner of my car did similar to the rear. I had damage to a wheel similar to you, when i got new tires i found that the wheel wobbled when the lug nuts were tight.

i hit a curb on friday night too. i was going 95 racing an old ferrari(looked like a 355), and i was keeping up with him by the way....but yea my lane ended, so i had to get over, but i didn't make it quite all the way over and hit the curb on the right side. my alignment is crap too. it was fun while it lasted though.

actually k car, i'm not lying, it was in really shi tty condition though, and i think this guy i know might even have it on video tape. i don't know we recorded a lot of stuff this weekend, i can't remember if that was one of them.. and actually we might not have been going 95, probably 65, and after that he would have blown by me.

actually, it might have been one of those fiero kit cars. it didn't sound too much like a ferrari. it had the basic body of a fiero, but looked more ferrari like. and i know i can beat fieros. i did that on saturday night. me and this guy with a stock v6 fiero raced. i have beat him a couple times. yea, cuz i was surprised how slow that ferrari looking thing was.
