It could have been way worse, but an A hole nearly side swiped me and I road rashed the shit out of my right side rims.

My fault for passing on the right, his fault for for not checking his blind spot.

Best part, my wife rocks, she said do whatever it takes to make it right. She a keeper.
Both of them.

at least there was no body damage,and now you have a good excuse to upgrade.

mikeman · 03-06-2021, 06:11 PM

Like you said, it could've been much worse. Never pass on the right because if you ever get hit, you'll be at fault.

Agreed, I love the ZL1/1LE rims though.

Good wheel repair shops can do very impressive work, maybe those are salvageable if there is no additional damage.

You may want to get your alignment checked to be on the safe side.

Sad for you that it happened but as you said, nobody was hurt, no body damage and most of all, an understanding wife.

RupertPupkin · 03-07-2021, 05:22 AM

Nothing a little sharpie can’t fix.

Time for some welds with beadlocks lol

I do not need some idiot on the road for this, my kids can do this for me both often and always. All four wheels! They are not partial to any one over the other.

Lou gill · 03-07-2021, 11:03 AM

I despise cars passing me on the right, especially in sports cars, it make all of us look like bad!

I bought my daughter a 2011 vert with pristine stock wheels. She curbed them all. Then she wanted an F150 Platinum so I gave her a nice down payment on that in exchange for the vert. She dented both sides of the aftermarket wheel twice and that tire won't even hold air. She finally listened to dad and got 35s on factory 17" wheels. She can jump all the curbs she likes now.

OP, I have OE ZL1 wheels too and I curbed one in the Walmart pharmacy drive through. Only a couple inches, so cleaned it up and then touched it up. You don't notice it unless you know it's there.

You could try touching it up until you can find a single wheel, which could be a while. I would send that one to the powder coat guys for cleaning up and refinishing. They should be able to get pretty close to that finish.
