Rep Power: 403 ^^^ yup thats what the rim would look like, the rear rim jumped the curb also but it only hit the tire, no damage whats so ever to the others... just the stuff above
I did the same thing to my rims...except I was going about 60 mph.
You can see the pic of the rims in my rides.
It cost me over a $1000 to get just my car back on the road...and I used used parts as replacements! Theres more damage than my sig says.
Good luck and be careful.
