Had the Car For Only One Week and I Did The Unthinkable!!!
I was pulling into a parking lot and in the process of getting around someone.........I curbed tbe passenger side rim!!!!
I guess I just got used to my 12 1lt that I couldnt curb, even if I tried to! The damage aint too bad, it looks repairable, Im just beating myself over it. Does anyone here know of a place in Vegas where I can get tbe wheel fixed? Pics will come later, I cannot even stand to look at it.

Booooosted.

Oops.
Maybe it's my truck driving days but I have a good habit of swinging wide. I've never curbed mine but that does not mean I won't one day.

It really is not a big deal man. The rims are for sale all the time in the classifieds or you can fix it for $100. Simple fix.

Don't buy the crappy refurbished ones on line. Get it repaired. There is a place local to me that a Mustang guy recommended . It turned out perfect. It took me over me over a year to hit a curb.

You couldn't curb your 1LT if you tried? Is your 2LT that much different?

I find myself looking further into parking lots and such now, because of curbs, and the slight downward visibility issue the car boasts. my truck, I would just run them over, because of all teh rubber, but with the Camaro (especially the front right) the wheel is very far from the driver, and completely blind.
