Rims......

[war0827]

I was washing my car today, and noticed that the front rim was bent.
Luckily, air wasn't getting out, so I took a piece of wood and hammer and sort of bent it back into place. The picture shows, that i got it in as far as i could. any suggestions on how i can get it to go in a bit more?

The good thing is my car looks clean as hell

Whoa, you should really get that looked at by a professional. That probably really unbalanced your tire, and the tire could blow out if say a lot of pressure hit that one spot.

are those tires 35 or 40? You need to take that somewhere fast. How'd you do that?

Ouch! Sorry bro!
There are wheel refinishing shops that might be able to fix it. Look into how much a replacement would cost you. That might be a more feasible option.

i was driving down on highway 684 in NY and i was in the passing lane passing by a truck. All of a sudden, BAM!
I was like holy sh*t. i didn't take a look at it when i got back cuz i totally forgot about it. then i saw how much pain my poor baby was going through.

themajesticking, the tires are 225/40/18

luis is right, NY potholes stink like you wouldn't believe

[Hamsterman]

yeah, you gotta get that checked... check tires for bubbles too cuz a blow out is a veeeeeeery dangerous thing

[ripley's99]

damn didn't you just get those rims too?

but yeah go have it checked out and replaced asap to be safe, like everybody else said.

later,

I second the Damn NY potholes, also Li potholes

[PtBaller]

Damn that sucks man
You should take it to a shop to get fixed. When I dented one of my old rims I got it fixed for $30.

[war0827]

well, i got school tomorrow and all so i'm gonna just call and ask for quotes on how much it'll cost. then i'll have to take it in asap.

[Terriyaki]

if you get an extra rim... since you are doing all this stereo shit in your trunk- take that extra bent rim and do a nice custom display in yoru trunk around your stereo and rim- you can just hide the bent part in the flooring... well that is if you want no trunk space and plan on going show- but i have contimplated that- it would look tight

thats would be cool, like the set of suvs, but the point would be to use that tire, so hed have no spare if he did that, thats why some have 5 of the same rim
