Bent my new rim =(

Post by vw-po-low »

Yup... never made if off the bottom of my street tonight.. Was going to meet a mate.. (i live on a hill and theres a corner at the bottom)

I was going slow as down the hill.. turned.. and went straight.. i could not stop nore turn .. hit the kerb with the wheels turned and bent my Classic in on the o/s front. Pretty annoyed.. but thats life. New wheel required. The tyre is fully in tact! So that saves me some money. Throwing my weller track stars on tomorrow morning. I'll update with a pic of the damange.

Ah man, that sucks! I did the same thing a few weeks ago but it was just one of my steels so not a big issue.
