Pothole bent wheels
Hit a large pothole a few weeks ago and has been out of balance ever since. Finally had time to take car into tire store. They are saying all 4 19" wheels are bent. Tires are fine. Is there any kind of warranty for this? Any advice?

As long as it's not cracked, bent and rashed rims can be easily fixed and refinished to like new. My dealer offers rim repairs. Check with your dealer to see if they can repair the rims.

If u need to replace all 4 just get a nice set of 19" aftermarket rims. The OEM ones are very expensive and I think u can get a higher end aftermarket for the same money.

"Pothole" huh.... Seriously though, there's almost no chance the dealer will replace all four rims. Your best bet is to get them fixed.

Damn! All four wheels bent... I think he hit that huge pothole on one side and was in such shock he did a U-ie and came back and hit the same pothole on the other side.
Has this event hit the local news yet?

LOL...why would somebody expect the dealer to replace damage caused by the driver hitting something?!?!

Bro don't listen to the tire place. I had ONE bent 20" rim before and they told me the same thing, all four are bent. They are just trying to get you to buy rims off them. Then they say the tires are fine, but once you commit to buying their rims, all of a sudden your tires are bad, or don't quite fit right and you need four new ones to go with your four new rims. Don't get suckered in! It dies happen a lot though to people who either have the money to burn or those to dumb to know better.

Seriously...unless the pothole was as wide as the car, there is really no way for all four wheels to be bent from running one(or even two) wheels over the pothole...
