Wrecked my car...BradC 10-28-2002, 09:41 AM To make a long story short the road was wet and I was making a left turn and the car swapped ends with me and I did a 180 and smashed a curb. Ruined 3 wheels and 2 tires. What are the specs on the factory wheels? I need to buy 4 new wheels. Don't drive in the rain guys........ ProjectRS 10-28-2002, 09:51 AM Ouch! Im sorry to hear that! I lost control of my rear end on my Camaro on a dry sunny day and took off my entire pasanger side! Not fun! But look at it this way, you can get some cool 17's now :) BradC 10-28-2002, 09:55 AM Originally posted by ProjectRS But look at it this way, you can get some cool 17's now :) Will they fit? Won't that mess up the speedo? ProjectRS 10-28-2002, 10:09 AM No they wont. Get some cool SS 5 star rims or even Vette once. It will look killer robvas 10-28-2002, 11:54 AM www.slponline.com www.ebay.com For Sale section in the CamaroZ28.com messageboard Post a 'wheels wanted' post in your region of the local boards.

Make sure you didn't break any suspension pieces or even worse, bend the unibody. When i had my '90 i smacked a curb with my right front rim and bent the unibody and knocked out a ball joint. I later totalled it by getting run off the road into a lane that ended into a curb...i hit it head on at about 45 mph. My back window blew out on impact and the unibody was totally f'ed. Damn, curbs cost me alot of money from age 16-18!!!! MustangEater82 10-28-2002, 02:02 PM Yeha check the local forum to your area on this website. I got my current rims off of what a coincidence 94greyv6 he guy posting above me. I am looking at a spare set of rims for autocross tires, from a local guy, I could be getting a set of 16X8 5-stars for $150. BradC 10-28-2002, 06:49 PM I bent the lower control arm and broke the bushing... 94GrayV6 10-29-2002, 09:35 AM Consider yourself lucky. My first encounter with a curb cost me 1300 bucks. BradC 10-29-2002, 10:31 AM Originally posted by 94GrayV6 Consider yourself lucky. My first encounter with a curb cost me 1300 bucks. It's going to cost me 800 unless I can find some cheap rims & tires. ImportKILLER 10-29-2002, 11:14 AM Sorry to hear about your car. I had the same situation...rain and a left hand turn. I didn't smash into anything...I just went over the sidewalk into a parking lot (empty). Boy...that was fun. But I did learn how to control the car better...about a year ago on a offramp in the rain it lost control but I remembered how this thing handles in the rain and corrected. Don't even want to think what would have happend if I panicked (sp). Here is your excuse to find some good rims and tires. Speaking of which...I need new tires...:cry: onoiocoko 10-29-2002, 11:00 PM another thing dont fool around in the rain unless its an open parking lot. i always gun it going like 35 and fish tail a lil and over stear which isnt smart. but i cought my self a few times. i did it going 45 on a 4 lane road. didnt over stear of fish a lil. just went barrowling into a 360. on a 4 lane road. slowed down enough that when i hit the curb on the other side i didnt do any damage. i thank god no cars where coming cause i wouldnt of died chances are but the car woulda been totaled. i wont ever do that again. that gets me thinkin stepping into my car. iver done alot of stupid things but thats the first time i ever scared my self. | ||
