im talking about someone above looking out for me......apparently a piece of metal slashed my rims (but not my tires) and car started to loose control.....worst of all....i was going down a deep grade hill (for those that are familiar...its the frazier park hill heading 5 north bound).......car started to swerve and skid side to side....im gonnna credit the Brembos for saving my car ( thanks Freedom)...i was able to progressively brake and got control of the car and took it off the shoulder ( where cars were zooming by at least 75-80 mph)...not a scratch on my car.....heres some pictures... what you guys think?

..........I would add that you must have had some pretty decent driving skills to get yourself off the road as well as good brakes !!! Glad to hear that you're OK, wheels are easily replaced

thank goodness you're ok!!!...cars can get repaired, getting away with a nasty accident is luck, man! from the looks of your rims sliced like that must have been quite a scary tragedy...anyway, good luck with the repairs. If you look at the bright side, at least now you have an excuse to replace a new set of rims...

Wow glad to hear you are okay. That is a weird way for a wheel to get damaged especially if the tire was okay
At least all you have to replace the wheel and you are okay!
