SOB $#%$#@ bent rims , argh!
to share my frustration with all, FOUR bent rims!!!!!!!!!!!!....and here i thought i was being careful with the rims...i see my efforts were a waste....new jersey sucks.
i just dont get it....i thought these rims were tough!!!!!!
now its gonna be about 130 a rim to fix them....debating whether I should even bother, they are only going to get messed up again.

Ouch. Sorry. Yeah, Jersey roads are cruel.
I just got some curb rash on my right front rim and want to have it buffed out. I used to know a guy that would come right to your house and fix it, but don't know what happened to him.
Such a hassle.

Same here from Chicago....rear rims are in bad shape.
I am toying with the idea of trading my C55 in soon and moving up to E55 so I really need to get them fixed or the dealer will probably really hose me on the trade-in.
