Unhappy The most expensive kisses.

So the last night of my four days straight of 16 hour long days of inventory and 4 hours of sleep, getting tons of inventory and overtime pay I thought I would go see my girlfriend at her house as it was my first free time I had. We talked in the car and caught up on some things.

Usually going out involves a dinner, some movie, something and anything. Us men know, even if we don't have to pay for it, we are still paying for it. And the kisses I came to get were the most expensive kisses I have had to date.

When it was time to start heading home, I got on the highway and started my drive. In the two right lanes I saw some pipes and stuff in the road. I moved over to the left lane thinking I'd avoid all of the debris, but something was in that lane as well, because even though I have no idea what I even hit, this is what turned out happening.

Yeah they are VMR710s

Had to call pops to get my oem 16 run flats from storage and bring them to me in Jersey. I have two 16" run flats on the left side of the car and my 18" low profiles on the right side of the car at the moment. It doesn't even drive weird !

It was a bad joke because you gave me hope and then crushed it after I just had to spend a grand on a new set of two.

Is that just plastic drain tile that was in the road? I can't imagine how hitting that would do that much damage.

That sucks, but it could've been much much worse. Some dude a month or so ago hit a sink on the freeway.

Just pictures of all the debris, but some of those pieces had metal buckles on them.

Aren't VMR's reported to have quality issues? I've read a few threads about people bending them or tearing them apart fairly easily.

I thought VMR's were cast reps? If not...my mistake.

That sucks. I find it really strange that the Rim just exploded like that. You should see if VMR will honor a replacement.

Those are the hoses that fuel trucks use to transfer fuel from the truck to the underground tanks at the gas station. That end piece is a very solid and large piece of aluminum.
