Hi everyone
I need your advice/suggestions. I had my wheels rotated yesterday. In the
process of balancing, a mechanic noticed that a rim on one of the rear
wheels was bent (on the inside edge; tire sidewall was not damaged).
It looks bad. It "wobbles" slightly - enough that it would create
vibrations if this wheel was installed in front.
Does anyone have a rim for sale? (tight budget is a keyword here!) I know
many of you have replaced stock rims and tires and someone may have some
extra rims sitting around the basement.
Should I have it repaired? Any other ideas/suggestions? Investing in a set
of aftermarket rims sounds tempting, but $$$ is the problem.
Thanks in advance
