I did a thing, again....

Shit man, sorry to hear and see.

Will insurance pay out?

i have to take some photos and get the left side checked for damage, then they will payout.
Im going to sell this car soon, i need something more adapt to shit roads.

Trying to keep this car from damage is driving me nuts.

reps, lesson learnt...

Could have been worse bud, could have been a high speed impact, so there's always a bright side.

Unfortunately this is the risk we take running reps and hoping we don't klap a pothole a couple clicks past 200 and watch our lives flash before our eyes

Have the suspension checked out thoroughly, that much damage on the wheel has to have transferred into other parts of the car as well

 

[Nick]

Ye, ill have to booked into tiger wheel for a check.
i hit a smaller one about 200m up the road from the Kimberly pothole, i have a feeling that weakened the wheels.
Anyway, im done with SA and having a decent looking car.

 

[Crash_Nemesis]

Crazy. My brother has the exact same rims on his e90 320i and both right side rims also took damage from a pothole. Had to have them repaired twice as it happened again.

Also reps.

Ahh man I just saw this thread now and wanted to comment on how good the rims look on your car and then I saw the damage. That really is sad dude but it can be repaired I'm sure!

But on a positive note the car looked amazing before the damage to the rims, they really suit the car damn well man!

 

[Gordvisr]

glad you are ok

So insurance sorted me out, So a brand new set of 193's are on their way next week from Deago at ABM.
Then new rubber all round.
Ill post some pics.

 

[Yuben]

Updates?

 

[Nick]

So i have a brand new set of Goodyear RFT's and a brand new set of OEM 193's on order.
now comes the decision time.
Do i sell the new set or wheels and tyres on here for GREAT price, fit new tyres on my stock 17''s and sell the car?
or do i fit the wheels and tyres to my car and sell it like that?

If you are definitely selling the car, i would put on the 18s with new tyres...as this will add value to the car

also, 17s on a e90 is rather sad

style 194s can be sold off privately, e36/46 drivers like these 17s from what ive seen

 

[Yuben]

I say sell the car with the stock wheels. I doubt you will get much more with the 193s especially if you trade.

 

[Yuben]

The new RFT's and wheels will be worth much more than a possible additional R5k on the selling price of the car.

 

[Nick]

Im selling the e90 cash, then using that to pay off a small amount on my bike.
the balance will be used as a deposit on my next vehicle .

 

[individj]

if you have to buy tyres for the 17"s id just sell with the 18"s...the 18"s and new tyres could also help you sell the car quicker if not for that much more....time also equals money...

Sounds like a plan, maybe a mid-size SUV could be an attractive proposition.
