Road Rash This is the result of idiots using cars as a toy. I was driving down the street minding my own business when two idiots buzzed by me in an old Delta 88 and swerved causing me to instinctively try to avoid them which resulted in me catching the curb:

The ironic thing about it is that I was supposed to pick my new wheels up today but they made a mistake and ordered the painted metallic ones instead of the chrome wheels. I would have probably chased them down & beheaded them had my new wheels been on the car.
That sucks, TML. All 4 of my wheels were scratched when the idiots at Midas installed my winter tires...but since I had no proof that they weren't scratched beforehand, I never got anything out of it. I have a pair of replacements from the recent accident, but the other side are the ones with the most damage. 
Even as winter wheels now (if that applies to your area...I'm not going back to look at your location), I am assuming you'll be looking for a replacement anyway?

yea that sucks man. damn kids prob in the fart cars... as what was said before, at least you didnt get worst.. In my old grand prix, i slide on ice doing about 20mph in my neighborhood and hit a curb.. That 20mph caused my alignment to get way off, my steering shaft was screwed, and i bent my tie rod about 90 degrees.. cost me over grand to have it all fixed.. i hit the curb trying to keep my tire parallel to the curb b/c if i went straight on, i would of blown my tire, bent the rim, screwed the suspension and bumper and probably do way more damage..

I am definitely going to but another wheel towards the end of the summer.
P.S.
Maybe not if I listen to my wife. According to her it's no big deal,nobody was killed.Yeah,nobody except my wheel.
