I finally bent a wheel tonight 
. Although it wasnt my fault. To make a long story short, I was driving on the service road leaving school when some guy in a ext cab silvy (most likely another UTI student) cut me off :argh: . He turned right onto the road crossing 2 lanes of traffic into the far left lane that I was in. All I could do was slam on my brakes and pray. Noticeing that I was gonna plow into him, I had no choice but to make a hard left jumping the curb. The guy had to have saw me, because he drove away real slow while still holding the brakes. I ended up halfway in the median and halfway on the road, laying frame on the curb. Giveing it gas just resulted in alot of flying dirt on my drivers side, and tire smoke from my pass. side :burnout:. Since this happened as school was letting out, about 7 of my friends stopped to help push me off the curb after sitting there for aver 20 minutes. I was really luckey, because the only damage was a bent wheel, a trashed tire, and the inner fender was conpletly ripped out. I am fine, but I can promise the other guy will be if I find out who he is :guns: .
I plan on sending the wheel back to BS to have it rehooped, but I have also been thinking about send a 2nd one and getting it widened to 10". If Yall were in my shoes, what would yall do?
Heres the rim, sorry for the big pic. Im not in the mood to resize it.
