Did you have your rear Progress Sway Bar installed at the time ?

Just the tire and rim, or is there more damage to the suspension?
I had done a similar type thing with my Suzi, spun around into a curb, and bent the axle. Hope that's not the case with you!

Nah...nothing serious. Just a mean case of curb rash, luckly.

No sway bar either...might have saved my rim. I was on my way to work, so I didn't have time for the grand inspection. I don't think its really bent though. Just scraped to death.

What rims do you have? Stock?

Wait until you find out what GM wants for a rim!!

That just may be the excuse you need to get the aftermarket rims you wanted!

They're the stock 17''s (painted or at least they were before today).

I can't get aftermarket rims because I got one of those things that keeps you getting rims installed...but I forget the name of it...oh yeah, wife.

I have a hard time justifying big buys for the car....*sigh*

Don't cry for me....Im already dead
