Guess you might want to get those curb feelie things. You know those long spring looking things that make a bad noise when you get too close to a curb. I bet they are much cheaper than a new wheel. They won't help on an SS when you pull into a parking lot and get your front end hung up on one of those curb stones. Just my 2 cents.

How did you do that? The factory tires have wheel protection at the bead in attempt to prevent this.
