Wow...

Well first of all stop driving the damned car until you get it fixed.

Once you get it fixed, Sell it.

Why would You drift the car in the snow? You obviously don't respect the car enough so sell it to someone that will.

Well you probably bent the rear control arms for staters. Like already mentioned, you should take a look under the car 1st to see exactly what is wrong. If the car is wobbling that bad the problem should be visible to the ***** eye. Just from my knowledge of being under the rear of more than 1 SHO, dozens of times, I am pretty certain if you take it to any shop for repair, you'll be looking at close to a grand, because they will be sure to throw in a couple of "extra's" to fix the car right..(just a stab in the dark)

Now that someone has answered your question, i guess i'll be nice and give you some advice if you really are a "SHO fan" think before you speak/type!!! Grammar owns you bro! Not trying to be a d!ck or anything, but as i've gotten older i follow these 2 key rules for most everything...(esspecailly on forums!)

1) It's NOT what you say, but HOW you say it.

2) Listen! We have 2 ears and 1 mouth for a reason, think about it.

If you read around on here you'll learn how to communicate better, read people, and ultimatly get 'sound' advice to fix your car! (if you really care about your car) Or if your lucky, you can use the search funtion, and avoid cluttering the forum altogether. If not, keeping running into ****, and getting ***** by your local mechanic. They love your money more than you do, Trust Me!

Wow...this is really bad. I don't want to put others down but when you post on here, I'd recommend not posting in a language such that your post reads something along the lines of "yo dawg, I was driftin in the SHO kinda lookin all cool and s*** and then was in the middle of this whack a** doughnut and yo dawg this s*** just broke on my a**..wtf".

We all do stupid things; it happens. Some of us are man enough to own up to them and post their fails.....but not in that manner.

Hi, I just joined this forum and have no brains, I wreck my car, tell everyone, then I'm not smart enough to check past the first thing wrong with it and try to drive it.
When shit hits the fan it's not evenly distributed, you got a BIG chunk.

Get a $14.00 hydraulic floor jack from Walmart and jack up each corner and spin the wheel. If there is not a lot of noise during the spin, consider that a good sign. Am I to believe that the new rim you installed was wobbling, or was it another? If the new rim was installed correctly (check it again, and swap it out with a slicer that you know is OK), then you have suspension problems; that are going to require that you get your 1/2 inch socket set with the long bar out.

Another case of "Hey You'all Watch This" :snicker:

Anyway to fix it go back to the lot, do some more donuts in the snow, but this time do them in the opposite direction so that when you hit the curb it will be with the opposite side and straighten everything back out. :rofl:

at a minimum, replace BOTH control arms on that side, the hub (with new wheel studs, and also consider an entire knuckle), and check the strut rod as well. All are inexpensive, easy to attain parts. No reason to sell the car (and you would not be able to get much for a wrecked SHO).
