Wrecked...

in the "wreck" folder

It looks as *** the control arm is bent but not broke... but still may need to be replaced maybe.

The wheel is scratched but still round...

Just from these pics can anyone tell me a place that could fix it for cheap? The car is at a Service King right now waiting for morning hrs to get an estimate... but since this is coming outta my pocket i need a cheap place to get it all done at...

would boostfactor be able to help me out? Or any other place in Plano, Matt?

Story behind it:
It had just begun to rain not more than 30 seconds before I got to that sharp 90* left turn for the onramp from Parker to 75. The car on it's new tires from the day before understeered and slammed front right wheel first into the curb and threw the car into the air and then landed just over the curb.

The oils on the road had just started to seep out from the rain, and I wasnt going fast at all and I also thought the new tires would do a better job than that...
5 minutes after me another black sentra slid and slammed into the curb in front of me from the same turn... that damned turn is dangerous, i'm never entering at Parker ever again...

Man that sucks! I really like those rims. I don't know of any place to get it fixed. Maybe the other guys do.

Use Google and search for "wheel repair" including quotes. Your wheel doesn't look bad from your photo. I used a place in Houston for my repair but I'm sure there are places local to you.

I don't know if this place can do it, but you can check it out: wheels america

Yep, Wheels America is the one. There were a good half-dozen listed for Houston; these guys did the work in their shop while some ship to a central shop in another state.

There is a place on Harry Hines that does wheel repair. I saw their both at the car show around Xmas time.

they will fix and reattach my stillen lip, order a new enkei Arashi and replace my fender and repaint everything from the front bumper to the new side skirt
