People when you’re driving your car be very careful with rims. That’s not a little bit of damage that’s gonna cost some money at the tire shop Watch those potholes Can you dig it

That's funny what you just said about the end of the day quick repair on your tire I left mine at a service station all day and they still didn't get to mine until the end of the day and they did pretty much the same thing you just said crack me up so yeah I'm a bit disappointed in that place and now I'm looking for somewhere to get my fix at the moment .

Thank your good video.

I have the same bent at @1:54 so you are saying it is still ok to drive for the mean time but for safety just go to a tire shop and fix it? Thank you!

Take it to a professional rim repair shop. They can do amazing things.

I've been driving on a bent and cracked rim for 6 months and only have a slight vibration. It's not a big deal.

Is it the same if it’s chipped?

I have the same bend as the 5:04 stamp, will this be dangerous to keep driving with ?

[@Marksreviewsandtutorials]

The only way to answer that is for a professional to see it and touch it. Take it to a tire or rim shop and get them to inspect it. If the rim is of good quality then small deviations can be repaired.

Will a bent rim I mean very slight cause passenger seat to vibrate. I moved the bent wheel to the rear passenger side. Bought 4 brand new tires.

[@Marksreviewsandtutorials]

Derek A Hi there. Yes it can especially if the wheel is no longer round. When the new tire is fitted get them to check if the wheel is still round. Also when they balance the wheel they will know if it is ok or not.

I have a Jaguar with an out of round wheel that vibrates slightly. If I get it repaired, will the vibration go away?

I still drive on 1 wheel which was bent to hell and back because drunk 16 year old me though he could drift a E46 320i... and hit a curb sideways It looks quite bad, but its bent on the outside lip only, So what i've figured out is with some negative camber and a rubber hammer to make it somewhat straight, i can get it to ride on the inner half of the tire, causing 95% or the vibrations to go away... Theres still a little bit due to it being slightly uneven in weight but its good enough

this was me today with my 2000 stang gt, looking for fixes now bro

Seems to me Mag wheels are not the best material for road cars. Aluminum is still best.
