They only thing that saved it was the two screws...I was on the Garden State and a guy flagged me down THANK GOD.

I figure, new screws, 3m body tape.

Would GOO BE GONE be good to take off old tape residue...any other recommendations?

My truck looked so ***** ghetto this weekend b/w 2 diff sets of rims and a missing FF!

****** luck! at least you didnt lose it or run it over.

****** luck...well I was cut off mid week bu sum ****** **** and I hit the median! Out of nowhere in the rain comes from an Off street onto a main road. No turn-signal at all either which doesn't help. My wheels locked up and I slammed on the breaks AIR HORN blasting. She never sped up or nothing....Boom median bounce off I catch up to her at a red a light screaming at her. I feel my rim and I'm furious...all she says is sorry and takes off. I followed her and called my rents to see if it was ok to call the cops and they said no bc of insurance and stuff!

I feel now that was wrong...I should have called. ***** left the scene of the accident!

So then the next day I go all the way to freeport to get my rims fixed and I get pulled over by an Undercover cop. Screaming at me for my tints (saying I can shoot him throw my windows), headlight covers, B/U Camera (cuz its drilled thru my license plate, my LED light bar was illegal. Made me put my truck in reverse to make sure it was for B/U. I handed him a PBA card and he got more mad. He marked them all up and my drivers license. Says next time hes gonna give me 6 tickets!

damn man thought my luck sucked... id murder if i wrecked my 8s

I was livid, I called her every derogatory name you can call a female with a few puns in b/w.

I got the rims back from the wheel place. Look ok,,but they are bent, not to bad hope they dont effect the ride so I dont have to order new ones.

I dont feel comfortable treating the bends it will make the metal weaker.

But if the ride is Fubarred I wil fix the bends and put those rims in the rear b/c there is a meatier tire on back.

Absolutely not! I do 55mph..thats my crusing speed also when the Hoe is most fuel effecient.

We made eye contact, I was on the right he was on the far left (3rd lane) he actually had to slow down to pull me over.

A-hole is the word!

I actually just got done awhile ago. Think I'm going to re-fit all four now!

I didn't use the eraser wheel. Just my thumbnail and brillo. Finished it off with Goo B Gone. I just need to go to home depot and get self tapping screws. 3m tape is holding up nicely!

Just dropped off my Rims to get re-powdered coated. Hopefully next week they will be remounted on. I can stop looking so GHETTO!
