All 4 wheels bent!! (overnight in Brooklyn)

I got soooo lost the other night in Brooklyn and I really messed up all 4 my wheels with all those crapy *** roads!!! I AM NEVER GOING TO BROOKLYN AGAIN!!

First off, I will never buy ACS rims again. It's BBS from here on in. I took of my 19's and are being sent to those guys in PA for repair. I have no clue what the cost is going to be yet. Whatever it is, when I get them back I am throwing them on eBay. I am so dissapointed with these wheels. I didn't think I would bang them up as much as I did. This all happened overnight because my stupid *** got lost.

For those of you guys thinking of changing wheels, stay away from ACS!! Yes, they look real nice but they can't hold up for nothing. I was warned about them and I didn't listen. I always have to learn this crap the hard way. BBS is really the only way to go IMHO. Doesn't BBS make our OEM wheels?

Anyway, my baby looks good wearing her old shoes again though.

Sounds bad, Harry! I'm sorry that this happened! Look on the bright side, you'll get new wheels soon and your stock M5 wheels still looks GREAT!

sorry to hear about your rims Harry, but then ACS, Hamann, Hartge, etc all have very soft rims compared to other manufacturers.... I think the same thing happened with M Freak a while ago with his ACS rims too... all 4 rims in a day...

BBS forges most of its wheels. Stick to forged wheels and you won't have any problems.

No pics. guys, I was going to but I just couldn't bare looking at them.

I was in the car with my X trying to find a party. She said she knew how to get there.............MY ***!! She didn't even know the name of the street. I ended up in East Bumble*uck, lost with 4 bent rims and one screeming X.

Man, I'm so pissed. I didn't even want to go to the party in the first place so I am blaming the whole thing on the X. Just kidding. I did however ask myself WTF am I doing hanging out with my X in the first place.

RM5, I have no clue where I was. I'd have to say everywhere. I did think about giving you a call though. Thanks.
