Drove 3,500 miles on the Hot Rod Power Tour without incident...until I got about 20 miles from home and I ran over a block of wood in the road! No chance of me missing it. I saw it at the last second and it looked like a 4x4 block of wood
Fortunately the tires are still holding air somehow so I made it home. I called Fikse to find out about how much it may cost to fix them...then called my insurance co.
Here is the damage

damn that sucks, too bad it wasnt a pot hole, then you could sue the county for neglecting the upkeep of the road. good luck

Sorry to see that. For what it is worth, the wheels look awesome with the SS logo in the center.

WOW!!! I bet that was one hell of a hit! That really sucks hopefully insurance will help pay for some of it.

Damn, that sucks. I know how you feel though...I have an ATP wheel that's bent like the wheel in your last pic.

I assume they'll be able to separate the centers from the outer hoops so they can be repaired--meaning you'll get new outer hoops. Cost is up in the air, good luck

Wow, that is bent. You should be able to just replace the hoop, the face looks okay. Where did you get those center caps from though?

Ouch! That sucks man, but those do look killer with the SS centercap, did Fikse do that for you? I know there is a company called True Forged that does engraving.

It'd be cool to figure out where he got them, I think my Fikse center caps are plastic with a machined 'style' finish so I'm not sure if engraving would work?

Thanks for the sympathy everyone. I just keep telling myself that it could have been a lot worse. I saw a few cars that hit deer on the Power Tour and their cars were torn up bad. The wheels will be fixed, should just need the outer lips as previously stated.
As for the center caps, I specified Blank Centercaps w/o logo when I ordered the wheels, and I was going to get the SS machined in them but Mark IXZD 150 here on LS1tech (who does stuff for afterthoughtsauto.com) made the decals for me and they look awesome. No-one can tell it's not etched until I tell them. The centercaps are definitely not plastic.

ouch--that must have been one hell of a big piece of wood

I've worked on a couple sets of Fikse wheels and they are not plastic.

Ouch, that sucks. Hopefully you will get them all fixed up nice again though. I seen your car in Rochester, looks great man.

you could take a block of wood and curve it to the radious of the wheel and hit it with a hammer to straighten it. then lightly sand and polish the lip again. ive done it to my wheel before

Cool. Can't wait to see the pics. I think I was parked right in front of the Nitto trailer one stop. Sweet cars. I didn't see you though.
