OMG! I haven't had much luck with my Volks either. Don't feel bad. I haven't bent mine yet, but I've curbed on once, and my buddy let one drop on its face. So upsetting.

Yeah, Im almost contiplating seeing if anyone is interested in buying 3 CE28N's.

I will give you $50 for the rims. Lol.

holy ***** that is some damage!

Should have trade for my 5zigens before lol... that's crazy though, you must have hit a MASSIVE pothole to bend it that badly

Yeah, I have no idea what I hit. Keep looking for evidence everyday on the way to work and I see nothing.

there are some muh-fuggahs out there after those couple o' snow days/freezing weather.

Damn! That sucks! I'm also from the oly area...would love to see your ride next time I'm in town. Sounds like you need to get a set of snow wheels. I have 2 extra stockers from my 03'

Crap, are you one of the other 2 or 3 AS's around Olympia/Lacey area that I see rolling around but aren't in the forum or community? Describe your ride, I may have seen you around. Im the wingless AS IX that HAD the white Volk CE28N's in this thread. Im literally everywhere around Lacey/Oly.

^no man I moved to denver about 5 years ago. I was rolling in oly last summer for a couple weeks with gold advan RG. Mines an viii too

One thing I'd like to mention, check and see if there is any lateral runout when they spin the wheel on the balancer, a lot of times, it looks like the face of the wheel is intact, but what often happens is that the face is actually "sucked" in towards the back of the wheel, which effectively ruins the wheel. If that happens, some wheel shops can make the wheel "serviceable" but it won't ever be quite perfect. Just a heads up.

I actually took the car to Les Schwab the afternoon it happened and they spun it for me. They said it was fine but managed to miss the damage to the inside lip. Upon closer inspection, it does look like thats the only part that took the direct hit of whatever I hit. That is believable as well since Im running negative camber. The tire even stayed sealed and I didnt lose a bit of air the whole day.

Doh! I feel for ya man. That is bent up pretty good.

Yup, now Im rockin' "****ty BBS's" like you. BBS's dont lookk that bad, just need some lower offset to em'.

Looking forward to the next set!
