Full size tire stores in trunk?

Hope this helps.
By the way, when you say you curbed it did you bend the rim or just scrape up the hubcap? If it is just the hubcap I may be able to help you out. I will not be using min when I install the wheels. If they are the same I would be glad to help you out.
Let me know,
Vince

Vince- sorry for the slow reply. Been trying to get back to the forum for weeks.
I hit a curb pretty good and bent the outer lip of the rim. The tire still holds air fine but I feel a wobble now. Its time for a rotate/balance. Perhaps they can tell me if the rim is toast or repairable.

If you can feel a wobble. First thing , check the tire for a busted or seperated belt. If the tire is OK, then the rim is most likely bent and best bet is to replace it.
A bent lip on a steel rim can most times be fixed. A rim bent enough to where its out of round: Replace it.

Like I said, I have been riding on one for 220,000 miles, the only symptom is a small vibration between 58 mph to 62 mph when that wheel is in certain positions on the car, and who needs those anyway? (but I rotate every other week).... just sayin'.

Fixing a small bend on the lip isn't going to effect any welded area. Anything worse, you should replace the rim as I stated. In fact I said twice in my post to replace it.
And fwiw, I wasn't the only one to post about fixing a small bend on the lip.

I guess from now on, I will have to apologize in advance for agreeing.
