Hit a curb :(

brandon444 · January 27th, 2011, 11:40 PM

Took a corner to fast and the rear slid out, corrected it and hit the front left rim and jumped the curb. Bent the lip in like a half inch or so and screwed the rim. She still drives straight there's just a little wobble above 60 mph. I got 17in centerline scorpion wheels, if anyone knows a good deal on these let me know, or a way to fix it. And I'm was also looking to get rid of these rims so if any one has some cobras or knows a good deal let me know. Thanks.

You gotta slow down homeboy, your driving a fox not a viper. lol

brandon444 · January 28th, 2011, 03:51 AM

Do you think I can still drive on this for awhile? Like a week?

bigjohnstud4200 · January 28th, 2011, 04:36 AM

that's pretty bad damage.. I would use the spare before that.

302Army187 · January 28th, 2011, 05:50 AM

+1 I wouldn't drive on it. too risky.

thouse rim's are ugly as sin anyway. take it as a slap in the face to get new rims

gripthenboost · January 28th, 2011, 07:24 AM

are you 5 lug or 4

brandon444 · January 28th, 2011, 08:23 AM

There 4 lug and I was hoping you guys wouldn't say that.... I have no spare and she's my daily driver

bigjohnstud4200 · January 28th, 2011, 02:33 PM

The 2nd picture looks like the tire might be bubbling out.

Go to the junkyard and pick up an extra rim for $40. Don't drive on that or bad things could happen very easily. Then we'll have another thread saying how you just wrecked you Fox.

brandon444 · January 28th, 2011, 05:38 PM

I found a spare that I'm gonna use and I gotta a friend who's gonna fix the rim for me.

FoxBodyfirstplz · January 29th, 2011, 08:57 AM

Score! But srsly find some new rims....try craigslist I saw 4 cobras (4-lug) with new tires for 200!

AdderMk2 · January 29th, 2011, 09:40 AM

Fast and Furious was NOT a good movie... drifting isnt cool.. so knock it off.

Back in April of 04 I did something extremely similar, but the damage was far greater. Not trying to impress, it's really sad, I lost my baby. I swear curbs are mustang killers. This particular curb actually ripped the rim on the drivers side off the hub, that tire then slid up the axle housing, rear bumper ripped off, differential ripped off car and the curb managed to rip the hub off the passenger side tire as well. I went sideways against the curb so that's how it all happened.

I was young and stupid trying to impress friends and didn't have a whole lot of experience with fast turning. I kinda wish I had pictures because even the tow truck driver said he had never seen that kind of damage from what happened but I was so heartbroken that I killed my car I didn't think about it til it was gone. It was a vacant street so I wasn't clowning around in a populated area, which doesn't justify anything I guess other than I didn't endanger innocent lives.

Mustang Weld Prostar Wheels w/ BF Goodrich tires, 5 lug

FastStang91Lx · January 29th, 2011, 07:33 PM

Too wide of fronts, and if the backs aren't a 6.5 bs then they're a no go too. And if All my whining wasn't enough, I would rather have slicks or DR's on them if they are gonna have tires included.

You tried! Thanks anyway.

EscortSportage · January 29th, 2011, 08:39 PM

sell those hotwheels wheels, and get some nice wheels, then u will have fixed the bent wheels problem and the other problem...
