    So, i get my wheels put on last Thursday right, im lovin life. Then im leaving work on Friday to go home and wash my car for the weekend and what do you know i take a turn too sharp around a concrete pillar in my parking garage at work and ***scccreeeeeccchhhh***. Im sittin there like "That did not just happen" So i get out to check the damage, with my fingers crossed and it's pretty bad. Might need a new passenger door. Estimate said about 2000 dollars in damage.

    Now here is the question, should i take it to the dealership (Will take longer and a lot more hassle, insurance might go up more) or should i let a random body shop do it, might not do as good of a job, but i don't know)?

    ..I'd talk to some people in your area (either online or in person) and see who they've gotten work done by..

    Ouch, that sucks. I'd probably just go through insurance though, it will save you a lot of money. I don't think your rates would go up much, if at all, unless you do this often.

    Take it easy out there, is better to drive slow and look good than fast and nobody notice your new rims.

    Man that really sucks, but at least you didnt mess up your new rims. I would try to find a reputable body shop and let them to the work.

    That's where the even sadder part comes in, i rashed up part of the lip on one of my new rims. I had em on not even twenty four hours.
