This is why I don't drink
I had a fund raiser tonight in which I had to speak at and that went well. As soon as my speech was over I was hitting the open bar to calm my nerves a little. BTW I apparently did well because I had a US Congressman say "have you ever considered becoming a speech writer."
 Anyway, I'd had a few to drink so my girl drove home. Meanwhile I'm on the phone trying to set up a meeting for tomorrow so of course I'm not paying attention. After I hang up she says "your car is driving weird." I ask what she means and she has doesn't know and decides it's probably just different then hers. Then I hear knocking. I'm thinking oh crap! I tell her to slow down and the knocking slows down. By this time we are turning on my street and I realize I have a flat tire. I ask how long it had "been driving weird" and she says since we left the fund raiser. DOAH!!!!!!!! So we drove 10 miles on a flat tire and I'm sure it's ruined now but it's too damn cold to look at it tonight. It's -2 degrees. I'm wondering if the rim is bent too? What do you guys think? I mean it's flat! Definitely unseated from the rim. So......... I'm thinking if I have to buy a new P zero (200 bucks) and a new rim (who knows how much) I might as well just get new rims and tires all around. What do you think guys think?

10 miles on a flat tire... would definately have the rim checked out before putting a new tire on it. do you have stock rims on or aftermarket? either way it would be cheaper to just get the new tire and rim rather then a whole new set of tires and rims IMO

you should be able to get a stock rim for $100 or less, so that would be the thing to do.

Well the chrome 17" at the dealer full price is 750$, I'd say if you were thinking of a rim upgrade you should do it now.
kickasscobaltss added 1 Minutes and 0 Seconds later... Of course you won't pay that much or your retarded lol

just noticed you have an SS, so yea the rim will be considerably more expensive... so maybe it would be a good time to upgrade
