I did the same thing along time ago and each rim re-hooped for 75 bucks a pop.

one time i had to make a straight 12 hour trip overnight.

when i was getting drowsy, I'd yell at myself at the top of my lungs like i was about to kill someone, and slap myself in the face.

i actually stayed awake.

This is why 3 piece is better, simple replacement of the lips and your good to go. AND it won't cost you $1700!

Auto insurance is a funny thing. You never want to make an at fault claim even if it's a couple thousand dollars worth of damage because you know over the years they will make the money they pay out today back and then some. Usually, it's smarter to just eat it.

Your pretty luck and lucky that is all that happened to your rims, I hit a pothole last week and this is what mine looks like. I now have some Lorenzo's on the way, LOL.

If you run over a curb at 20-25mph with three piece rims I'm positive not only the lip will be mess up. All three pieces will be f@#k up.
