A large truck forced me off the road yesterday, and of course the road was complete crap. North Carolina is supposed to be the "good road state", yeah right......I took the rim to be fixed for $100, but they said it might crack. I'll post a pic of the bend once I make the file small enough.

Third,
and that road is blissful especially with the runoff you have,,,,,,,,,,,, I spend my time dodging 16lb turkey sized potholes, even on the highway, fastlane has ruts and holes:(

I hate threads like these. They make me all angry inside.

This is what bent my rim, the first pic was just showing the black marks, but you can't really see it. Raleigh, NC, right near wake tech

And finally the bent rim. I'm not really sure what the guy was doing, maybe he was high, but he was taking up a good part of my lane.

Yeah, I'm right near you off of 1010 road. The roads suck here, and no shoulders. Yet go over by RTP where they're building all the new stuff and the roads are great, 4 lanes, shoulders, medians....

You should get in touch with Brett (rigmaster), he may have a rim for you over in Clayton.

Replica M3 rims?

Thanks for the advice ScottyWM, but it's all fixed! $125, 2 big bends, 2 small ones, they said one of the worst ones yet. I was very very close to 1010 road when it happened..hahaha.

They are M3 style, factory BMW, but just don't have the little m-tech badge.

Ew!

He's lucky they didn't pop off, being spaced out E46 wheels.

I am pretty shocked they fixed that!
Wow.

They are spaced with H&R spacers though, they will not come off.
