Broke my brand new Privat Profil...PICS!
I hit something and it went through the side wall and hit the wheel right on the lip. Broke it instantly. I never did see or find what I hit but I know it was small. Sorry for the pic quality but its a camera phone.
First I am happy...then sad. I had all my co-workers laughing at me. The chuncks scratched up my rear caliper but nothing else. Enjoy my misery.

Things happen though, I'm just thankful I didn't get thrown into the gaurdrail or under a semi. Too bad they are on a six-eight week back order now. Thanks to LS1tech.

I tried discount tire and they are out of stock of the black ones as of 3pm today. I tried a bunch of places actually and none have them. Privat is a division of Konig and I even called them and they said the same thing. BO!!! So for the time being I get to look like a idiot and run two on the front and my OEM SS wheels on the back.
What ever I hit it couldn't have been that big. There was nothing on the road anywhere. I looked for about 30 minutes. People kept honking at me and shouting at me as they passed by. My guess is that it cut the tire on the sidewall and deflated rather quickly (read loud bang) then the wheel landed on it on the lip and it went downhill from there.

that is some serious damage. Depending on how long it might take u to replace that rim, you might want to check this place out. http://fixrim.com/ They might not be able to fix that though. But if you can't get a replacement for another 6 months or something it might be a good temporary solution.
