Please be very careful when driving in so cal!
Earlier tonight, I had dinner with a few friends. After that ended and were driving home, I needed to make a left turn. Unfortunately, there was a curb that I didn't see, and resulted in hitting my two left rims. What happened? Well, the two pictures attached explained it all. I'm not asking for anything, but wanted to remind everyone to be VERY CAREFUL when driving in So Cal (we all know how depressing the roads in So Cal, especially in San Gabriel Valley, are).
First picture is the front rim, second is the rear rim.

Well, I can officially say alignment is way off. I'm just glad the tires didn't pop on the spot. But will need to get the tires repaired, or get new tires. May need to get new rims, since I doubt the rims can be repaired. Just debating whether to get Linea Corse LC818 19-inchers or Lexus F-Sport Full-Face Forged 19-inchers.

Yeah its a jungle of potholes and crappy roads out there. Gotta be careful otherwise your in for surprises like this
You should be able to get those wheels repaired, but I would just replace them now if you got the money...that you can shop around for a repair place and take your time getting these fixed since they will be off the car. Then just keep them on the side just in case.

Driving on our freeway I see holes in the road that could swallow up smart cars!
