Hey all,
Well, wouldn't you know it.  Apperantly sidewalks win when you try to avoid a crash.
I took a chunk of my rim out on it, but thankfully no damage to steering and suspension.
If anyone has any 14" 5x100 rims that they want to sell, I might be interested.  For the time being I can use my summer rim, but ideally I would like an original Celica rim.  Hope someone out there could be of help
Cheers
Jake
