wheel fix

kushtrim · 04-15-2011, 02:49 AM

I just bent my wheel coming home from Manhattan , u guys think this can be fixed

chudak18 · 04-15-2011, 05:24 AM

Deeeeeyommmm. I'm surprised that didn't blow. Yeah, that's fixable. They heat it, form it, lathe it, mount and balance and you're good as new. Gl.

DAAAAAYYYUUUMMMMMM!!! what did u take the scenic route through the MOON to get home???

That sucks bro but I believe it's fixable especially since it doesn't look cracked. But it will always be weaker in that spot so be careful.

Sorry that happened

VMR's are cheap, so thats why they sell, and they are easy to replace, but they are the weakest wheels I have ever seen.
Mine have slight bends all over. I'm going to get rid of them eventually

exclusivo · 04-15-2011, 11:47 AM

hmm, i had VMRs for a year, and so did a friend of mine, and never had a problem with them. On the other hand, I switched to Linea Corse LM reps and those suckers bent and cracked all day. OEM 189s ftw lol

kushtrim · 04-15-2011, 12:54 PM

thax for all the info guys ...I have them for almost two years now and never had any problems , this happened while i was going about 80mph and hit a bad pot hole on the west side highway , I don't think any wheel could of survived this .

onebadmofo · 04-15-2011, 01:29 PM

You live in the Bronx, work in the city and take car to work? Why not train/bus?
Shit, my car sleeps in the garage mon-fri most of the time, fuck these roads.

And isn't limit on WSH 45mph? Slow the fuck down, you'll have more time to react to potholes.
