Default I Knew I would Toast A Rim Before Long!

I was going through McDonald's drive-through the other night, and I scraped the curb, and toasted my rim, and tire- took a huge scrape on the rim, and gouged out the tire.
So, I had to order a new rim from Ford ($451.00 for the Bullitt), and get new tires.

It's all better now!

Now it's on to the long awaited wash & wax!

Anybody else ever take out a rim, or two?

Yah on all four of my stock bullitt rims. Thats why people like spend $1200 and get all new rims and tires. 18x9 up front and 18x10 deep dish bullitt replicas in the back. You would have been better off buying that combo I think.

yeah sorry but your not too bright to pay $450 for just a rim or just a rim and tire for that. Should have just sold the rest and upgraded to aftermarket.

Cool

Been there and done that .. especially when the car was new.
Bought a spare rim set. Better and more mindful now.
