Bent Rims

echothreezero · May 16, 2007

Hit a pothole today and blew 2x 1 week old performance tyres and bent both LHS rims. Say byebye to a set of quite rare MOMO X1's. Gonna cost a very very pretty penny to replace with something else and get new tyres plus suspension work.

Just felt like a rant.

****ing crap NZ roads.

How bent are the wheels? I know in the US you can repair bent or even cracked wheels.

I have had bent rims repaired and you cannot tell.

Check with the city that it happened in and theres a decent chance that they could take the bill for you. I know they do that around here... during winter, the plows take huge chunks out of the road... if you take pictures and get a hold of the right person, the city could cover you for damages caused by their roads.

City? I live 3 hours from the nearest city. Seriously though I will be contacting the roading autority. Will also be investigating how much to repair. Will post a pic soon.

Sorry to hear about your missfortune, must have been one hell of a hole.

Graham, what are the name of your momo rims?
And how much did they set you back? They are so nice...

They are Momo X1's You'll choke on your cornies when you hear how much I paid.

$500 with near-new Dunlop SP Sport 9000 DSST's - from a mate who is so BMW pure he couldn't stand to see then on his e30. His loss is my gain.

But now they are bent
