So I see that one of my tires is low on air...no big deal, fill her up and then the next day its low again. Take the wheel off and see a bend on the inner lip, which is causing the air leak. I am pretty sure if I send it to a local place, they won't be able to match the gold color very well. So my question for you guys:

Should I get all my wheels refinished in a new color? should I go high polished? all chrome? I am pretty bummed right now, and I'm tempted to go back to stock.

 

very slight bend, but enough to leak air

 

you wont need to get the wheels refinished to fix the bend

 

That totally sucks Moog. Do you recall when and what you hit to cause the bend?????? Good luck at getting it fixed. How in the hell do they fix a bent rim anyway???

I hope you're right. I might try to pound it out myself w/ a brass hammer.

I went over this really rough railroad track and hit it pretty hard. I go over this railroad track on a daily basis, but for some reason it hit real hard this last time.

 

Hey William

Mark gave me this #2143309866. He got his fixed couple months ago. He said the result was pretty good. Give the shop a call, I am sure they can do something without having your wheel refinished since your rim was bent inside not outside. Mark told me that they can come pick them up too, maybe give Mark a call too and ask him about the detail. Sorry to hear about your rim.

 

Im sorry to hear that. I dealt with this when I had my Prelude and ran 35/225 series on 18x7 inch wheels.

That is part of the reason I wont do 20s.

As it is on my front 19x8.5 TE37 I am running 255/35 while everyone else is doing 245.

BEnding a wheel sucks and I dont intend to do it again.

Blingdoes have its price.

 

Yeah I've used Wheels America in the past. I think I've probably gone to them like 5 times with my last two sets of wheels I had on my Accord. I'm taking the wheel up to NTB in Lewisville. My friend is store manager there, and he has quite a few connections. Let's cross our fingers.

 

Yeah bending wheels does suck big time. I am thinking about running a bigger tire also now. I'll probably stay stock height, so maybe a 255 up front and 285 in back.
