    I would like to say the drive home last night went smoothly… By the look of my left front rim it did not. Does anyone have access to a rim and wheel cover? Located in Orange County, CA... #sadtimes IMG_3899.JPG IMG_3900.JPG

    Found one on eBay for a reasonable price shipped! Let's see if he accepts my offer! :)

    Didn't mean to be so nosy. Thanks for the reply. And as you know, there's a LOT of distracted driving in SoCal. Wife had back surgery? I'm very familiar with that. I've enjoyed 3 of them. :ROFLMAO: And the darn back is a mess. Much worse in some ways. Best of luck to your wife.

    (I bought an extra set of wheel covers off of eBay for those times when I smack a curb. Old Guy driving... :eek:)

    I feel like I'm at a Meeting. Hi. I'm Jim and I have damaged wheels. I tend to clip corners when turning. Doesn't the LKA on the 2017 work?

    Hope the wife feels better.

    Hi. I'm Dennis and I have a bad habit of hitting curbs. LKA is now LDA. It doesn't function at low speeds (<32 MPH?). It's not intended to recognize curbs - it's supposed to be looking for lines.

    It (sometimes) gives you a very slight warning. I find it useless and have it turned off.
