Bent Rim
Ok according to the dealership and Sears auto one of my 7 spoked sawblade is bent, all I see is scratches on it. I don't kwow where it's bent from.
I really don't feel like spending $ to replace it, I'd much rater be buying my self some sport A2 tires.
I can get a used saw bladed for $100, or for $400 I can get 4 new '01 6 spoked wheels from eBay ( but that arrangment will end up costing me $800 with tires included <ouch!>)
So how do I go about finding if I can keep using my supposidly bent rim?
The wheels from the 350z could look realy sweet too. It sucks being broke

Re: Bent Rim
I think it depends on if they can align the car or not. If the car is out of alignment due to the bent rim and they cannot correct it then you have to get a new one. It probably will wear out your tire on that rim faster too. But then again this is no hard fact here, just my thoughts.

The rim is bent on the mounting side. My bent rims look perfectly fine until you unmount them and notice they are totally bent

They didn't try to align the car, all they did was try to balance the tire and said the rim was real bad, but I guess I have to look at it from the inside.
