Default pics of my bent f-sport 19s

I kept forgetting to put up pics of how I bent my rims so, here they are. I still have them on my car and I have that duh duh duh duh duh everytime i go over 40 mph. I'm on michelin pilot sport a/s + thank god for costco insurance, gave me new tires for free.

I bought a new set of the same ones so they are coming off today. let me know if someone wants them lol

fyi i went over a sidewalk when i fell a sleep behind the wheel at 20-25mph and popped both tires and bent 3 rims. the other rim is bent on the inside so no point in taking a picture there.

Yikes...you're lucky that's all that happened by falling asleep. This story sounds so familiar. I want to say this same scenario happened to another member (falling asleep and bending his F-Sport wheels). Could it be that the F-Sport wheels cause narcolepsy?

Pretty strong dam rims if you went over a side walk and all that happen was a bend and a few chips.

You had the chance to learn a lesson... keep awake behind the wheel.

Pull over to take a power nap next time and be safe!
