Another bent rim ---- AAAAHHHH MY F^%$ LUCK

by **that1mexguy** » Wed Jun 29, 2005 7:13 pm

Well I say another because I'm not the only one with this problem but DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN I'M PISSED!!!! ok ok it aint really that bad but my steering wheel wobbles like a mofo!! (only at high speeds). I took it in to the shop to get the tires balanced since I noticed most of the weights were gone, so the guy brings me in and shows me how they balanced them, but when spinning the wheel, it was wobbling just a tad, which means i must have hit a pot hole or something. Damn it, now i gotta buy another rim. (and 4 new tires since them bitches are almost bald! AAAAAHHHH!!!!!) I need a drink!!!!

:drinking:

PS. oh yeah.... i was so frustrated when i typed this up that i didnt even pay attention to where i was posting, sorry... sue me :drinking:

Dang...

Sorry to hear your misfortune. What size rollers and shoes are you running?

If your rims were less than $150 its cost effective to get them repaired. Call around to some tire shops. I had two bent rims that I got trued up for much less than the cost of replacing them with brand new ones.

Yeah these Atlanta roads are TERRIBLE. Its so many potholes, and those metal covers they use to cover the potholes aren't any better. Sorry to hear about your rim

That sucks, come to colorado. When I drove my solara around atlanta I was always happy with the roads there. They are nice.. Colorado it's like four wheeling on our highways 1/2 the time.

no my friend, crack is whack! anyway LOL dont i wish!!! my boy just called me up, his cousin in AZ has a rim shop and he said he "might" be able to get me one.... so wooohhoo!!! if not, my friends from SELOC mentioned some place they go to get their rims fixed up since they have had the same problem in the past so let's see how that goes... still need new tires tho... i'm running on 40's, u guys think maybe i should upgrade to 45 profiles??

by **captainpimp** » Thu Jun 30, 2005 5:28 pm

wont matter, i bent some on 45s. i think the only remedy is to pay attention and look ahead at the road. if the pothole wants to, it will bend them. i'm on my second set of rims and i think see and avoid is the only real fix to bent rims.

by **quikz** » Thu Jun 30, 2005 5:59 pm

do what i did take the rims off and roll stock.
