Thanks everyone.

I called in a claim to my insurance company. I have no idea how much a 20X7 Midnight Silver wheel will be, nor if they will repair or replace the 20X9 rear wheel. I'd imagine this repair will be $800 - $1400. I have a $500 deductible.

The first picture is me on a side street. I actually was in a "well to do" neighborhood, so the residents left me alone. But I'm sure I was under surveilance through the residents windows.

I was wondering why the tire sealant and air compressor were not inflating the tire. It was dark and I could not see all the damage. When daylight came, I soon found out why the tire would not inflate. Look at the second photo. Whatever I rode over punctured the tire, went through it, and punctured the wheel too. See where the aluminum is cracked and pushed up?

Third picture shows 2 gouges in the front bumper cover. The rocker molding is scuffed up too, probably can't see that in the photo. scuffs are towards the rear tire. I did not take a picture of the rear wheel, yet.

It's in my garage now, sadly listing to one side. Guess I'll have the body shop come pick it up Monday or Tuesday.

Once I arrived home, I thought about driving the Chevelle over to the show. My wife said, "NO WAY! You are done driving your toys for today."
