Celica Forums General Discussion General Ran over a brick on the Highway!

Earlier tonight I was on my way home from picking up my girl, when I see this thing on the road and I try to go around it (im going at 85mph) and it hits my right front tire. I pull over to the shoulder, and when i look behind me, i realize that there is 12 other cars behind me, i guess i wasn't the only one.
Anyway it cracked my tire, made a hole in it, and my rim is kinda fucked too, but I need to know what you guys think, if the rim still works or do I need to get a new one?

sorry for the size and quality, they are straight from my cell phone

GOD DAMN...Those were sexy rims!!!! Im sorry bro, i dunno if its fixable What do you guys think??

fuck, all that from just a brick? shit.

your rim is gone. i doubt it can hold air. i suggest new rims

damn dude that sucks sorry to see that... i think your insurence should cover it tho

damm that suck

I doubt it, but anyway if it does, i don't know if it's worth it going through them because i'm going to have to pay, some type of deductible or some shit, and it's not worth it, when I can probably get it fixed for like $270

but yeah it does suck!!

ummm good point but i would still check cause its not your fault

you're screwed up!
But I Think your rim can make it with a balance...

dude that brick packs a lot of punch for such a little thing...sorry to hear..hope everything goes well.

Your wheel is shot, bro -- scrap it. Tell the shop you bought your wheels from what happened and see if they'll hook you up with a good deal.

I wouldn't even bother with the insurance, they won't cover aftermarket wheels. Some sheisty insurance will even jack up your premium if they find out you've got aftermarket stuff.

...in Michigan, there would've been 3 bricks.

sorry to hear that, dude...stoopid brick!!

it calls for a new rim

let me griev with you, i feel your pain...now whats a bitch isnt that its messed up, its how long it'll take till you get it fixed, a repair alone takes up to 1-2 weeks to fix, GL my friend i know how it feels.

It could be fixed, but the money you'll have to pay will be enough to get another wheel!

Sorry to see that, dude.

Even if it could hold air, I wouldn't want to run on that rim. Could go flat or cause a blowout pretty easy, I think.

^^^yup thats what i did, yours looks like its going to cost the same it would have for mine it even looks works, around 150

wow, sorry to hear that. last night i was on my way home and i hit one deep ass pot hole, but it felt like the road had instantly come to a dip of 3 feet.

$270 is way too much! get a new one. if you get it fixed it's not going to be the same again!

that fucken sucks just buy a new rim

Sorry man that looks rough, looks like the best bet is too get a new rim. BTW you car looks real nice with the gunmetal rims

o crap

My rim just sustained similiar damage. They told me it was totaled. Rims cant handle anything more then a scratch

I don't think any shop will allow you to mount a new tire on it. It'll make it tough for balancing, and it could be bent enough to allow air to leak out from the tire when it is mounted. You'll probably have to take a loss on this one. You sure insurance won't cover it? Good luck to you!!

sorry about that bro. thats a bitch. i think you maybe able to ahve th erim bent back some and it shoudl be good. i dont know though

$270 willl you get you two new rims thats way to much.

man that blows, i just wrecked my celica last night too. f'ed up my front bumper, side skirt, and rear bumper...stupid slick tires not treading water lol

ooh gawd damn man! that brick did some damage Just get a new rim and if you need ALL new tires, might as well get NEW tires

New Rim = $185 Shipped not bad..
New Tires = $120 (Toyo Proxes)

Total of $305

THAT SUX MAN, GOOD LUCK WITH THE NEW RIM AND TIRE.

You have my condolences!

I have special ordered tires through Wal-Mart. They will warranty anything like that if you buy the road hazard. I bought 2 tires, put them on my trailer, the electric brake stuck on, it blew the tires and they made them good!

See if a road hazard is available for your new tire!

Brick - 1
Celica - 0

The wheel is scrap metal.

Sam-when i bought those rims i should have bought the no questions asked 50 dollar warrenty next time i will. you only need one tire...ill ask my friends at les shaub what theyll charge me.

Thanks Brian...But I already ordered the wheel and tire.
Came out to $215 SHIPPED and Mounted on and Balanced. I like that price! But I wish I woulda spent it on something else!.
