    My bent rim

    As some of you know one of my TSW hock r's is bent I have no idea how it happened or when, as the car shook some when I got the car then one day it just got worse. Today I took the wheel down to the local tire place and had them pull and dispose of the tire for $4.
    I then gave it a good cleaning so I can pack it up and send it off next week to get the bend taken care of.
    Clean rim

    And the bend

    Any ways hopefully soon I'll be rolling on 4 of the same rims Now just to find what tires to purchase for the front that I won't need to sell a kidney for.

      I've got 4 of those now if I could just sell 2 of them for $140 each I'd be set.

              I'll have to get a pic of my bottlecap when I change rims. I bent it like the 2nd day after I put my car back together :P

                    You should see the BBS weave that my brother just demolished. I have to say, those BBSs are fucking strong! Any other rim, and it wouldn't even be able to be called a rim anymore.

                      i have a basketweave somewhere that got fcked up when i spun out into a curb... i hit the curb hard enough to bend a trailing arm, so you can imagine how the rim looks.
