Slammed my left front into a cavern on the highway. Waiting for the tire and wheel ins to allow my vendor to order a wheel so it can be replaced. Until then if anyone has kidney stones putting this car in track mode will do lithotrypsy when you have a bent front wheel. Harmonics seem perfect at 38 miles per hour to give maximal vibration

Sucks to hear about your wheel damage. Good luck with the repair and good that you have insurance.

Keep us updated on the wheel order - from what I'm reading it's taking a long time to get wheel replacements.

bigger problem is local gm dealers x2 wont service my wheels as they dont have the equipment - which means i have to go to private dealer. Getting the insurance appoved is huge hassle. I think he hates to see me drive into his shop

I doubt that this will help in your case, but when I posted about my bent wheel, another member told me about House of Wheels. I ordered a wheel at $300 less than the local dealers were asking. I was quoted a week shipping time from Florida to Cali via fedx ground.
