#6200, "bent my rim.. and bubble in my tire.. need advice."


          

I hit a really bad pothole on sunday.. and I didn't see the real damage it did until now.

On my front passenger side rim... it's bent just the slightest bit... and there is a bubble on the tire.

***edit... just went to check again: back passenger side is bent too!!

Sad part is.. I just rotated the back tires to the front the night before.

What should I do?

Should I rotated it to the back again?

I need to ride this out until at least spring...

And then.. where should i go to get it fixed? I like my rims... and I don't know where to buy a replacement, since I don't know my own rims's brand, or even if they are sold anymore.

bubble in your tire? Does it look kinda like a tumor or something? If so, I think the side wall in that part went out causing the air pressure inside to push out the rubber making the "bubble". You should change your tires with this.

If your rim is NOT leaking air from your tires you don't need to mess with them. If they are ... well that's a different story.

Watch those bubbles man. I got one on front left tire on my Mustang when I was in high school. It blew and needless to say I almost killed myself along with two other passengers. Be very careful...I would take car of that tire ASAP.

I work at Discount Tire. If you have a bubble in your tire you need to replace it. As for the rims, you can get them fixed for $100 or so. Is the bend on the inside or outside? Let me know if you need any advice.

The worst tires should go on the rears. So that way if you have a blow out, then you can still steer. What size brand tires do you have. Ill see if I can get you a deal on one or two.

Hey Mystic511 check this place for your rim: http://www.bentrim.com/

They got a flat rate of 109 bucks with a lifetime warrenty. The closest one to you is in New York. I got lucky because they have one right down the street from where I live. Hope that helps.

Yes you do get a discount. It really does depend on the manager. Mine is cool as shit so he hooked me up. I got konig tantrums and 225/40/18's yok parada's for a little over a Grand. If you bought a warranty, then they should cover that and give you a new tire. Ill try to see about getting you one but that size is a little harder to come by, but ill check.
