Bent my rim! Have to get a new tire! Merry Christmas to me...



(More of a vent thread, plus your thoughts.)
So yeah; that happened last night as I was leaving the store heading out to Christmas party. Dang pothole. As soon as I hit it I already knew my tire was screwed, I Thought my rim may have been bent but I was praying that it wasn't. But it was. Vossen CV3 are tough rims and can take a beating but that must have been deep a$$ pothole to do this. I'm hoping there is not to much damage for them to fix, I will be calling a couple of places here in Houston to see what they say. I bought the car with the rims so no stockies for a temporary fix. But it is that time for me to get new tires all around as-well and Nitto has discontinued mine. So now I'm thinking of trying out the TOYO Proxes. What you y'all think about the Toyo's vs Nitto's?

Damn, ugly hit there
The Toyo Proxes T1Sports are a good choice for a summer tire, I assume your Nittos were the 1st generation NT555s. I had those Nittos prior and they are pretty good, I think the Toyos should perform better overall.

Talk to Axel Coll at JACE Auto. Tell him Janarvin sent you (Gray G37 Coupe with "DRVNBLSD.COM" on the sides). He should hook u up with wheel repair and tires.

I went to Cutting Edge on Brittmore. They did an awesome job repairing it.

Nice. Just FYI the owner of JACE Auto owns a boosted G35 coupe. He probably would've hooked it up. But they did a good job
