Basically I was passing a semi truck, and I was right around his passenger door when he decided to come into my lane. I slammed on the brakes, but I didnt make it in time, I had no choice but to slam a curb. If I didnt go into the curb he woulda taken off the whole drivers side of my car. I managed to change out the rim and drive the car home, but its pulling hella hard to the right. I might have bent up some of the suspension, but IDK, I haven't put the car up in the air yet. Hopefully (crosses fingers) it just needs an aliegnment.

F-ing truckers. :x

Oh, by the way, I'm gonna try to get that rim fixed for sure.

It all happened so fast, to be honest......I dont think I woulda made it in front of him. He just came into my lane hard and quick, my first reaction was to just hit the brakes.

Thanks too BTW, I'm glad I didnt get the squish.

The car pulls to the right now, but IDK if it just needs an aliegnment or if somethings bent, I'm gonna find out for sure. Luckily its only that one rim thats damaged.

Tell me about it!! I've had 40 different sets of Rota's, and this has to happen with the Harts. :thumbdown:

Yeah, I'm on a stock horn, but it wouldnt have mattered anyway, he came over to fast.

It was VERY close, it definately could have been worse, I was almost EG-less all together.

You really dont think it can be fixed?? Its just the lip thats damaged, not the entire rim.

None the less, if it cant be fixed I've got a line on some 14" Wed Sports, but thats only if I cant fix my broken Hart, lol.
