Boom Baby, Cracking My Rim! PICS!
Ok, so I made it to Cali safely but not without a REALLY big problem. We were coming through lookout pass when without warning you we hit a chunk of concrete in the middle of the road going about 75 mph. Here is the result:

That is about 1 1/2 inch crack on the inside of the rim. So we made it to Missoula on the spare and went to Les Schwab and guess what! They don't have anything that will fit my car that will match with my other size rim. They called around and ended up spending 2 1/2 hours trying to find something and to no avail they couldn't. So to be able to leave I ended up having to get new rims AND tires! Here is what I got:


They are 18x8.5 and the rims don't weigh much at all! What do you think?
Oh and we are suing Idaho state for the damages since they did not warn us about it.

It's a good thing you are all right....doing 75 and hitting a piece of concrete doesn't sound that secure.
Those are some nice rims though...they look nice. Are you going to sell your other3 rims, or just try and find a replacement?

HAHA no, not really... You are actually the first person to NOT like them. Oh well... I think they are cool.
And as for the other rims, yes I am going to try and sell them. I have the rims (which are in good shape, only minor curbage [:@] , and tires which are almost brand new.
