Im diving out of work tonight and its freaking dark. My windows were fogged up and I thought i had enouhg clearance, but my rear D/s tire ended up going over the 6" concrete curb. The car doens't feel the same after. No broken noiuse, but it feels rougher than before. How can I check for a bent rim? or what else might this have done? I know that there can be a lot, but Im not sure what could have been hurt. I was going like 15 Mph.

I hit a pot hole not too long ago and blew out both passenger side tires and screwed one of my stock GT alloys. The city is covering the expenses (well I'm still waiting on the cheque but it's supposedly coming) but the tire place charged $110 to straighten a rim that's probably not worth half that amount. Total bill was $600. |
