no i'm just saying if he had forged rims, 3 piece, or even just OEMs, how much would it cost to fix it if it was bent. And if the bent was repaired would it ever be the same?

yea i'm not blind those chikara rims are demolished. Just trying to see if the cost of repair on higher quality rims offsets the cost of replacements of low cost rims.

Yes but a balance is not necessarily needed if you arent replacing or flipping the tire at the same time. But yeah either way, under $40 for everything is common.

Nope. High quality rims hardly need repairs unless you curb them or hit a major pot hole and bend the lip (as far as I have seen/experienced).

I honestly HAVE NEVER seen this happen to wheels besides Rotas. Geeoh be careful man because he said he wasnt speeding at all and it shattered to pieces.
so what is the full story of the owner of the Z with the chikara rims? Did he spin out and slammed into the wall? Even at low speed that force of slamming into a wall can severely damage high quality rims...correct me if i'm wrong please.

this accident wasn't a hit a curb accident...

any more pictures of the rest of the accident to the car?

Poor Z i didn't know it was Branden's...damn i wanted to do a photoshoot with him too...

yea hearing too many horror stories of the rain taking out Z's and G's left and right last week, i'm lucky i left my g in the garage...

this might be a low speed crash but the force of the Z spinning out and hitting the wall was enough to deploy all the airbags causing this nismo Z to be totaled...

Well according to what he said, he was on an on-ramp not drivin like a douche and lost traction and slammed into the wall. He wasnt goin fast he had family following him to the restaurant they were going to for his birthday.
