    Is this salvageable?

    Curbed the e30 last saturday... pictures tell the story of the damage... is it worth getting fixed? or should i just buy a new rim? it's a borbet bs. If anyone has some for sale, or just one(not likely), let me know. Otherwise what do you think?

              That's impressive. The tire didn't even blow out?

                      Was only about 30-40 mph.... and it was into a curb. I don't understand it either.... and there is no body damage whatsoever to the car... just a curb. only ripped off my front lip, that's all.

                              check your alignment. i refuse to believe that happened without throwing off your alignment.

                                          i hit a curb same spot on one of my wheels. wheel shop deemed it not fixable and my control arm bent like a rainbow. (way lower speed than you, although it was a tall curb)

                                              Yeah, I'm taking it to a shop. Just going to order a new rim and call that a day... Oil pans on the way. But yes, I hope nothing else major occurred. Looks as if nothing is bent but there is probably no doubt that my alignment is off.

                                                  30-40 mph is pretty darn fast when hitting a curb. Definitely explains the damage.

                                                      Easy fix. Trust me. You should see the wheels motorcycle racers have fixed. Probably cost you 40-80 depending on where you go.
