Damn 90 MP on 270 is a no no. Were you in the service lanes or on teh actual 270 middle lanes? Its kinda crazy that someone would shoot your tire tho. Was there anyone near you at the time. Good thing you were ok to drive to the gas station safely.

i've done 90+ on 270 before, the cops just look and dont bother to catch you, theres so many exits and so many other drivers that there just like ok whatever, but yeah people have shot out tires just for the hell of it before, i've been there the bullet was still in my wheel area though it went through the tire but not the rim.

Hayashi send me a pm. Through my work I have an account with Transwheel (they do alot of rim repairs for most of the local shops). It typically costs around $100 or depending on the wheels, damage etc. One of my boys hit a curb hard in his CL Type-S. It cost $100 to have the wheel fixed and repainted.
