pics of wheel damage to my 99

Post by GMC Guy »

Since I was asked, and I finally got the pics off my phone.

Back in May (the night before I left for Delaware) I shouldnt have been driving, but had to get the car filled. As I went around a corner ....a curb bit my passenger front wheel.

Couldn't find a rim that morn so we took the GF's go kart down.
Luckily there was no underneath damage.

So, as promised, here are the pics.

inside the tire, look at the goodies!

I think I was thorough in pooching the rim and tire. :banghead: :banghead:
By the way.... I tried, it didn't buff out. I asked the tire guy how good he was at patching tires, said he was good then I showed him the tire. :) He said he wasnt THAT good.
Lesson learned, DO NOT DRIVE OVER TIRED!!! [-X
