Bent my rim to hell

[Elantra87]

Last night i was being stupid and "drifting" on the ice in a parking lot. I ended up sliding into a 5" high curb at like 4-5 mph and the result wasnt pretty. This was still drivable all the way home, but i didnt get on the freeway. No air let out and its not cracked. I can get the whole rim repaired for $120.
And yes go ahead and laugh lol i was laughing when i did it iam not mad about it. Just thought i would share this story and my friend got it on video iam going to try and get it from him. So now iam thinking about putting my stockers and hub caps back on. But....i need new tires for them. I know the stock tire size is 195/60R15, Would it be ok/better to do 205/60R15?? And i just got an alignment on the 23rd, i think i might of thrown it off just alittle, iam going to go have it checked.
After that iam going to get my rim repaired and sell them, and hopefully get some nice lightweight 16's.

here are some pics of my rim and what my car looks like lowered with the stock rims on.





Iam loving that sleeper look

Aluminum brings good $ at the scrap yard.

205/60R15 or 205/55R15

The 60 is just a tad bigger, 55 a tad smaller. I would just go with 195/60R15 because you are probably going to get new 16s in the future (I think 195/60 tires are a bit cheaper).

that will buff right out.

.70/lb if you're lucky, so he might get like what...15$ for that wheel?

A little ducktape and some paint and all will be good. That sucks you did a number on that rim.

Who else is going to make use of it? Better than throwing away.

[Pete03GLS]

i can drive in the snow lol i just cant drift without hitting something. I drove all down the highways people were driving 20mph and slamming their brakes on the bridges lol now those are the ones that cant drive in the snow i was crusing at 40 and i was getting good traction

[Pete03GLS]

driving in the snow, means more than just going in a straight line. THATS what people dont get.

driving in snow means, knowing what to do in case u lose traction, or preventing that all together. **** like that. thats what people around here dotn ****ing get. n those r the people that end up smashed up n ****

[Fox]

[Pete03GLS]

oh. i agree, too much snow sucks ***. but in the RIGHT amounts, it can be loads of fun. lol
