Blew Tire And Spun Out.. What Rims/tires Now?
#1
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...

the tri-spoke look like the old school viper rims .
