Default Expensive Rim's... why do it to ourselves

I was backing out the car this morning, in a bit of a rush trying to avoid my letter box..... When screech... a landscaping rock from my garden edge that abuts my driveway just taken a chunk out of my precious Work Rims.... I am soooo pissed off with myself... now when I look at my rims all I see is this scrape on my rims.... if I had left them stock... I wouldn’t of cared as much..

and the sad thing is, you have no one else to blame but urself.. even if u look really hard, u can't pin it on anyone... except maybe mother nature, for forming the rock out of dirt.... but....

Take it to Alliance, get it fixed, its like it never happened!

Know how ya feel man. Mrs put a large scrape on one of the STi rims. See it every time I go out to the car. Was going to get it fixed but came to the conclusion that she will only do it again

Good rims waiting till she gets her own car. Might be waiting a while

One of my Volks has a little rock chip. Oh well, I got over it. Not like anyone will notice.

yep and the worst part is what do you do while the one rim is off the car getting fixed? Unless you got another 18" rim to put on temp you are screwed and off the road while being repaired.

Note: Suby did the right thing with my new Libo and gave me five rims and tyres, no space saver crap!
