Yeah so thanks to some fucking jack ass individual that ran me off the road today I now have 2 bent rims.

I was coming out of my neighbor hood to go run some erands before i went to work. This sack of shit in a blue dodge ram 2500 decided he ownes the fucking road and came into my lane i slowed and went into the grass, then I hit a fucking rock that bent my passenger side rims

So as far I can tell it's just the lip thats bent, and maybe I can get that part bent back, i'm going to take them to a shop to see if they can work some miracles.

or it's off to find some new ones.

These rims are just dead sexy, really like the clean cut style that they have.

the mr2 deserves a motorsport-focused wheel, not something that looks like it came off a truck..
