New rims aren't too bad...I still like the old ones better, but they look good. Comes up pretty good with a scrub too

Wait... I don't get it? Who are you protecting them for, their next owner?

SnipeZ · Post by **SnipeZ** » January 4th, 2013, 12:39 pm

For himself?
So no gutter bashing?

wow, good to see you walked away.

LOW_XR · Post by **LOW_XR** » January 29th, 2013, 4:14 pm

Good to see you walked away mate but, it's times like this I wonder why people don't have insurance? I'm guessing you've wasted a lot of cash on this and now that's all down the drain.
Good luck with your new project.

SnipeZ · Post by **SnipeZ** » January 29th, 2013, 4:21 pm

For most people full comp is only a few hundred more then third party but worth every cent.
Unlucky though. Good luck in the future endeavours. Glad you were able to walk away

Cheers

icachn · Post by **icachn** » January 29th, 2013, 5:09 pm

the only reason for not having full insurance is because of my wheel spacers which are illegal and void my insurance if i smash it.

Post by **Commando** » January 29th, 2013, 5:11 pm

Those pics render me flaccid

SnipeZ · Post by **SnipeZ** » January 29th, 2013, 5:11 pm

Aami allowed my spacers

Cheers

krisisdog · Post by **krisisdog** » January 29th, 2013, 6:10 pm

Ouch! That's a fair hit!
NRMA didn't say anything when I got hit with my spacers. May have been different though as the claim was thru their insurance not mine.

icachn · Post by **icachn** » January 29th, 2013, 6:17 pm

i was with aami too, maybe if i knew this i may have considered paying $800 for full ins. but then again they probably wud only pay me market value of about 3k if it was a writeoff., like it was.

Parfrey · Post by **Parfrey** » January 29th, 2013, 6:42 pm

That sucks mate, fair old hit. Good to see your ok and probably a good move going on to something faster/newer/safer.

Out of interest what sort of tyres are you running?

icachn · Post by **icachn** » January 29th, 2013, 7:55 pm

on the front had 225/35/20 and rears were 245/30/20 landsail and austyre

Parfrey · Post by **Parfrey** » January 29th, 2013, 8:17 pm

Do you think having cheap tyres was a factor?

Heaps of people go for cheap china tyres on big rims and handling in wet weather especially turns to shit...

Rollin · Post by **Rollin** » January 29th, 2013, 9:09 pm

That sucks massive hairy elephant balls

MASSIVE hairy elephant balls.

icachn · Post by **icachn** » January 29th, 2013, 9:14 pm

maybe, possibly the cheaper grade tyres may have had a factor in the accident, but considering the conditions where it wasnt actually raining but lightly drizzling and it had been dry previous few days, the road was very slippery in this case., hard to say if cheaper tyres were the cause.
