Default curb check....ouch
so this is what happens when you are going 10 mph in second gear and barely touch the throttle on a concrete road. the *** end came around me, and i had no choice but to sit there sliding sideways for about 5 seconds until the curb broke my slide. so if anyone has an extra 17x9 inch rim laying around that i could borrow, or a chrome 17x9 zr1 rim i could buy, it would be much appreciated so i can get off this damn donut rig

Just drive along a curb till you have no lip on all your rims. Then you can tell everyone you did the lip removal mod to cut some weight.
