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.
Note: I also posted this in the So Cal regional forum, but wanted to post here also, since my car is an IS350.

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.

Ouch! Definitely not a good way to end the night. But there's a silver lining...new rims perhaps. Between the two you listed,the LC818's do look good IMO. Anyway, best of luck!

That hurts to see but roads are bad in Cali? LOL wait till you come up north where it is a constant battle to fix roads due to snow and rain...and for the most part is done quite well but I still bet we have it 100X worse. Plus you rubbed a curb didn't you? That has nothing to do with how bad roads are. I've been rolling on 19's for the whole summer and haven't had a problem here.
