Go and install a boost gauge to measure your vacuum.

I feel your pain. The same thing happened to one of my stock wheels only after a month after I got the car. When I parallel park, I usually go in a bit slowly, but that time I just went too fast and then...S-C-R-A-P-E!!

aaahhh

man, that sucks. Luckily my rims are fine so far. I have only a few hairline scratches on one caused by rocks and other road crap.

LMAO! Sprint, do you have that NOS working yet, or is it still window dressing?
