Brushed a curb today while cruz'in around and damaged the drivers side front wheel and tire. Anyone have an extra (new or mint) front wheel (optional BBS) and possibly a new or low mile Goodyear F1 tire? Please send a PM
Curbed it!

Bad luck - we'd all HATE to do that. I can imagine how that would feel.
Refurbs can look pretty good, depends how bad it is.

If you want someone a little closer than Wheel Wiz, BMW Bellevue has an outfit they have fix this kinda stuff for 'em. I saw a wheel they restored and I couldn't find a flaw in it. (I DID have wunna their cards, but NATURALLY, I can't find it now. Just call the dealership if 'interested. :cheers)

Mr. Ed,
Sorry to hear of the dreaded curb rash ailment.
you might give Tim Foster a call, He's in Renton, been doing wheel restoration/repair for decades. Does meticulous work. Steel, aluminum magnesium etc. Also a Tire Rack Preferred installer.
Foster's Wheel Repair 425-226-8711
I had him totally restore a set of 13 x 13 Aluminum Minilites for one of my Datsun race cars. Trued, polished and painted. I am Absolutely satisfied with Tim's work.

Thanks all for the info on the wheel repair sites - I would just hate to have my GT laid up for several weeks while I got the wheel repaired. I will use the repair info to get wheel repaired later but I really need another wheel/tire to take advantage of any driving opportunity I can. Ed

That hurts!!
Sorry to hear about the hit Ed...when you get it back on the road we need to try to get the Northwest group together sometime. The weather has been great. I drove up to Oak Harbor on Sunday and just made it back before the rain hit. Good luck with the repair.

Cristo, good to hear from ya. Perhaps the NW folks can get together again at the SVT Rendezvous at Bickford FORD on May 3. Watch out form those curbs! Ed

I'm in.
Rain or shine.
The Whatcom Wizard will be there. We need his sage advice, questionable humor and I for one would love to see him in a wet suit.
