SLK 55 AMG
ya,,,this time a chunk was taken out of my front right rim...
I have a few small rim rash here and there from lazy developers that don't know how to build correct shopping centers (trust me, I know, I'm a developer myself). They build really tight intersections in the parking lot and big a** ugly SUVs always ƒucking take narrow turns instead of wide turns like trucks and buses do.
So those were the small ones that I got,,, would just slowly rub and I would quickly make a fix.
But this time,,,the driveway ramp from the street going into to shopping center was really narrow...but the white painted lines did not match...so I am looking at these white lines,,,braking, and turning right so I can go into the parking lot...and then I hear this bang..kkkkkkkkkradkkrkkakrkkrkraaaraa....this was a big chunk taken out...I mean it is still attached to the wheel...it was just scrapped out and now it is like kinda hanging...but since it is metal it really just.....I dunno....I am upset.
I am going to take pictures of all the rim rash I have to show you what I mean. I hate this...yesterday I went to the MB dealership and they told me about $5000 to get the same 16 spoke 18 inch SLK 55 AMG CHROMED rims....that is where it got me...real bad.

All these rim rashes occured on my right side of the car...even though the wheels are on the left side...I went to get new tires and Tire Man switched my rims...I don't know why...I was not rotating tires...I got 4 new tires and they switched my rims.....so all the rim rash occured when the wheels were on my right side of the car.
The first pic is my front left rim
The second pic is my back left rim
The third pic is my back right rim
The fourth and fifth pic are my fron right rim...the one that is making me most upset... the other rim rash on the other wheels did not bother me as much...but the last two pics can show you why I don't feel so happy.

Ouch that sucks! Maybe scour ebay for just one and chrome it?
It doesn't seem like you need a new whole set. Anyways, hope things work out!

Hmmm, too bad I can't help. I sold my immaculate stock rims (& tires with 80% front tread & 30% rear tread) left for ~ $1.6k back in May.
Good luck - someone will sell theirs to you.

Looks to me that you need to learn how to drive. You can't seem to be able to judge where your car is in regards to placement on a driving surface. Better get 4 as I'm sure you will repeat this.

Wheels?
Deuce: I replied to your e-mail you sent me Last Night . Came back Server err?? harris1996@heatwave.com.
Well any way,
GOD your wheels really took a hit. In a parking Lot. What where you doing DRIFTING !!
LOL. Just hate to see that kind of damage . I was asking $1400.00 for just the wheels. There is a little room to make some price adjustments. ___PTE___
