Dont know how this could happend but it happened to me and is all my fault, i saw Speedy Claxton, just some NBA player, and well i ran up on to curb on driver side(not paying attention), BOTH wheels, and when i tell you it sounded VERY BAD, i like i thought i was going to get out and see my body all messed up and wheels very! messed up, but no body damage, i dont know how, and just the front wheel has 1 inch scratch on lip of wheel, and the tire has like a slice/cut/gash into it, i am writing this cause i am very concerned something else has to be wrong with my car now, it sounded so bad going over this curb, which was pretty high, what do you think i could be looking forward being messed up with my SS... thanks

ps what can i do to check things myself on my SS to see if all is well

look at struts, suspension springs, your oil pan, also check to see that you didn't screw up the drive shaft.

A good indicator would be differential in color of the underbody. Clear stratches will be noticeable almost immediatly.

definitely a possibility, if so it'll be a good reason to find some lightweight 17"s for your car
