As you guys all know.. the road today is crazy... its slippery as hell... well i drive a g35 C with winter rims and tires on... and i skipped majorly doing a turn and hit a curb and smoked my left back and front tire(rims) i don't really care about the tire and rims but the back tire looks tiny bit crooked and the wheel allignment is effed up.... any ideas how or where to get this fixed?? and cheap?? and how much do u think???

You can probably get an alignment done for around a hundred bux or maybe a bit more @ a garage, not too sure about the rim though.

get it alligned, you might have bent some suspension components though which will cost $$

Sorry for being off topic but is rwd really that bad for winter? I'm not finding any troubles (yet), just going easy on the gas pedal.

Not at all, especially with DSC, ESP, VSC etc.

^nah, keep this one goin, kill the other one...

And yeah, RWD usu IS bad for the winter (esp. with all seasons on and not winters...)

But not if you have 2 12s and a big box in the back :D ... .they're the new 'sandbags'. Helps out a lot.

k i got a shop thats can do alignment for bout 60 + tax, state of the art alignment machine, ive used it before its a mechanics dream, parts would be more though, i did that once with my beamer and they had to get factory parts for it, total came out to about 380, the part alone was 170, labor is 1.9 hours, tooken from alldata, with alignment came out to be about that
