^ thanks for the other places but i have already got it fixed.
btw guys, since i do have curbrashes on my rims, i might as well get it powder coated. What color do you think will go well on the cls wheels?
I was thinking between matt black or a shiny black to match the color of my paint. But i'm open to suggestions...thanks

Wow, talk about being dense. I had a wreck in a Honda Civic once that ripped the driver's side wheel clean off the car. Did that affect the alignment? Sure. Would an alignment fix that? Not without the crash damage being repaired. Anyone with common sense knows that the car will have to have an alignment after the repair. But that's NOT the issue.
It's really not a difficult concept to grasp.
To the OP, are you gonna file it on your insurance? It might not be enough $$ to require that, depending on your deductible.

^^ZOMG!!! where do you people come from?
I have been trying to stay out of this but sweet Jeebus
/of arguement!
got ego? jeez grow up man.
you started a stupid moot debate over nothing.
The problem with OP's car is BENT links. Frank was correct, no need for 2nd or 3rd page of this thread.
for the benefit of this forum please stop posting in this thread. But if you would like to embarrass yourself further you may:
'press any key to continue'...

imo, for the rims, i gotta say gunmetal. Dont get me wrong, black looks sick, but not if you dont have a nice lip to go along with it and the cls rims just dont do the justice.

yeah, i was considering bronze too but not too sure on my rims...
that's the second gunmetal vote. im just not too sure if gunmetal goes well with a dark black car. It goes well with almost any other color. Oh boy...lol
