Mother fuck. The SAME damn thing happened.

Apartment complex call-box + having to turn slightly left = curbed wheel (2" mark)

Figures. Oh well, at least I have a place here in Atlanta that is one of the top southeast shops in wheel repair. Their work last time left it better than new. So, no worries.

So, how was everyone else's weekend?

Yeah I did this past week too, doing the Starbusck drive through on old milton. Not too bad and it seemed to fix ok, but shit.... I just ordered a new rim. All I have to do now is curb and replace the back two and I will have a whole set for drifting days..... Hmmmm that is an idea....

Just be sure to inspect your wheels before you leave! I recently had them repair some minor curb rash on one wheel and powdercoat my centers. Upon getting them back and driving on brand new Potenza's for almost two months I blew a tire as a result of too low of tire pressure- come to find out they never tightened my valve stems on all 4 wheels!! And this came after the fact that when they mounted my tires initially I had to take the car back a week later b/c I had noticed that they mounted one of the tires in the wrong direction! Did I also mention that they lost one of my SSR stamped chrome caps?!?! :2up:

Is that a polished finish on the lip of your wheels? I think I need to get mine finished again.

Yes, it is polished. I do my own polishing a few times a year.

Doesn't bother me, Collins.:) I have a beautiful, blonde g/f and get to drive home in a 911 turbo whenever I want. If that is something to complain about, I can't wait until things start getting good!
