Default Need a hand

Hey guys (and gals) I need some help here. I took the Z into the shop the other day to get the tranny replaced and a few other odds and ends taken care of and the mechanic showed me something very disturbing. He asked me if I was feeling anykind of mild vibration. I said "yes" but I only thought the front tires were the culprit. He shook his head and said, "yes you need a front end alignment and your front tires are worn out" (after 10K) but he said that was not what was causing the vibration. He lifted my baby up and said "watch the rear driver side wheel." He gave it some gas and shockingly enough, the wheel wobbled. Not very badly, but the rim is definately warped. Now I bought the car used a few months ago, so I dont know if I am to blame for this or the previous owner did it, however I dont recall it vibrating like it is doing now when I test drove it. There is not a single impact mark on the thing as far as I can tell, and I dont raw-dog the car constantly, so how it got bent in the first place escapes me. So to make a long story short (too late right.) I need a new 18" Ray and buying one new will cost me a boatload. If anyone has one that they are willing to part with, let me know how much you want for it.

thanks all.

Quick cheap fix might be to see if anyone in your area can straighten it out. Also check Wheels America Wheel Repair
