Pics or it didn't happen!

P.S. I feel your pain. Curbing wheels is THE worst.

pics would help. but if your front tire is flat then you probably damaged the wheel and the suspension as well.

If the tyre deflated then change it without question. You may well have damaged the internal structure of the tyre.

Asking a question like that without posting pics is like asking a fortune teller to give you the winning lotto numbers.......post up some pics so we can give you a reasonable opinion.

These rims are too easy to curb. I just curbed my new set, driver side this week after just three months. What can you do? Just keep driving!

A picture is not going to show internal damage...an impact between a wheel rim and a curb of sufficient force to push the bead away from the rim and deflate the tyre is highly likely to have caused damage to the tyre carcass.

These things happen, don't let it stress you out. If I were you I'd just buy a new tire and have them check for wobble when they mount the new tire.

Curbing your rims with the "18s is a lot less likely given the meatier tires.

How are these wheels any easier to curb than the wheels on a minivan or a Prius? Operator error, I'm sure.
