Guys,

Went to the shop and they said the rim is bent and that why it was causing my steering wheel to shake. They took my rim and spun it in front of me and man it was a sad site..... They said i could get it repaired or just buy a new rim, which would be better.....:sad:

Luckily, i saw one on ebay for a good price. It does a curb rash which looks okay, i guess. This is what the seller told me.. the specs are ""EVO-18, 8JX18H2, ET40" I asked for lug pattern size, but he didnt state that. Im guessing these 18x8 by 40mm offset and 5 lug. I am assuming it's 5x114.3 since it's 5 lugs??? or is this a wrong assumption?

Get the bent one fixed. I've had two alloy rims demolished (but not cracked) by pot holes, on my Max and one on my Talon TSi. The bend on my talon actually let all the air out of the tire.

I could not tell they had ever been bent. The tires also balanced up fine.

I went to a place called Sports Car Tire in wilmington DE if you're close to there.

 

I dont know if fixing the rim will ever be perfectly round again.. but then again it would be cheaper..
