Blew Tire And Spun Out.. What Rims/tires Now? - darkpuppet - 02-22-2008 So once in a while, I do become prone to acting juvenile. Maybe it's 'cause of the racing stripes on my car.. but I digress. So there I was, just tooling around at lunch, doing some donuts in an open space (no worries, not on public roads). And I blew out a rear tire. Turns out losing a tire also means you lose control of the car.. and in this case, ended up sliding into an obstacle that I hadn't really been paying attention too until I actually hit it. It was a pretty light tap on the bumper, so I think it's alright... I don't even see any scratches on the racing stripe -- thank god! The tire did in fact roll off the rim :S .. ok.. so the rim doesn't look bad, but I'm sort of thinking, maybe it's time to upgrade. So I'm thinking if I have to, I might look at some multi-spoke.. or maybe tri spoke? I dunno... either way.. I'll have to get some tires.. but whatever. Oh yeah... picture of the car... sorry for the pic, it's my cell phone... Blew Tire And Spun Out.. What Rims/tires Now? - D-Dub - 02-22-2008 the tri-spoke look like the old school viper rims .
