i have to find them asap, it kills me to look

How bad is it? I mean are you missing some metal? some metal peeled back? or just the clear coat?

no it definately has metal. i ran my finger across it and almost got pricked by a thread or sumthin.

Might actually be cheaper to buy a new or used rim, rather than having it re-machined, polished & clear coated.

are those C2's BTW?

its kind of hard to find an 18" RacingHart C2 wheel nowadays

yes they are

throw up some pics of your wheel and ill tell you if its a DIY fixable


my rims got beaten up by one curb (just scratches) and road debris I fixed them up with some sand paper and polishing. They look better than new IMO

sUCKS TO HEAR ABOUT THE RIMS BRO..

Post up some pics, so we can evaluate the damage, as much as it hurts to do so.

I think the reason most people don't curb their stock wheels is because the tires aren't low profile, and you rub the tire before you hit the rim. Low-pros are different. Nonetheless blows dude.

Good luck, post pix.

that sucks man....i haven't curbed a wheel yet either...i don't parallel park at all tho....in TN there isn't a need to...and i always stay far back from curbs at drivethrus....i'd rather have to reach than to scratch a wheel...or a lip....cause my Mugen lip would hit before my wheel would on the front...

 

[OniLink3089]
