In Reply to: Please Help! What to do with my rims and tires? posted by MP on December 11, 2000 at 12:28:18:


I live in the SF bay area and anyone who lives here knows that the streets are terrible especially if you have after market rims with low profile tires.

I bought 19inch Breyton Magic's for my BMW just four months ago and I have bent all four of them. I was driving pretty fast and did not realize that the road ahead completely dipped down 5 inches and back up. It was like a massive pot hole that hit all four rims. I immedietly fely heavy vibration on steering wheel and back of car.

To get to the point, I got three opinions from tire shops and they all said it can't be fixed since all 4 rims wobble from the center. I saw them spinning on the machine and they all wobble.

What can I do? I dont want more than $2500 to go down the drain. Can I claim it on insurance?

Thanks in advance for ANY advice.
