F'd my rim up!!!

So it snowed a few inches last night so when i got out of work i was excited and decided to go drifting... long story short it was realy slippery and i ended up sliding back left wheel into a curb, pretty hard. So now when i go over 30 mph the car shakes not to mention the huge dent in the side of the rim... im wondering where i can get a used wheel or what i should do.. oh yea and the alignment is a little off the wheel sits left a little when im goin straight

You probably bent the rim, thats why the car shakes at 30+mph. Try finding a rim on ebay, I see auctions all the time selling just one wheel.

I'd say try to find a rim local it might be a little pricey to ship it. You'll probably need an alignment when your done too.

if ur car is a one g with rubber rims i got 8 of them!

Wow Edmund speak english!!!

lol seriously! rubber rims? WTF is that? lol

LOL HOPEFULLY! if they don't then I'm screwed! lol j/p

Yea if anyone knows of anyone with one rim let me know asap, and i work as a driver at a pizza place so yea.... think about it... not good at all! oh and i have nice 18s that i took off for winter?

Put the 18's on as a LAST TEMPORARY resort. Just go hit a junk yard man, you should be able to get a crutch wheel for pretty cheap.

you guys seriously dont know the "rubber" rims they put on first generation talons? wow

Never heard of them. Please enlighten us edmund65.

:lol:

Okay, right. The rim is bent. You can get it repaired, if it's a moderately expensive set, for cheaper than you could buy a new one. Most places do this. And I live in the styx.

Then get a realignment.

Since this is for your job, I'd fix it soon. Good luck.

Edit>> And stop drifting in the snow.

see in my signature? those are hte n/t rubber rims

there are places that can fix a bent rim..check it out and see if they can fix it. i bent a rim real bad and it wasn't fixable.
wouldn't driving on it make it worse? i believe that's what happened with mine. i had to get it home so I just drove slowly. i think it made it alot worse.

Yes, driving on a bent rim is very bad for the rim and also the car. Just put the spare on temporarily.

I had a 1st gen non turbo that I slid sideways on purpose into a McDonalds drive thru, however I didn't account for the curb under the snow (oops). I ended up hitting the rear pass side. After replacing the tire and rim I noticed that both of the tires didn't allign properly, the entire rear end had been pushed over to the left. I ended up having to replace a bracket that attaches to the cross beam on the pass side that ran between the two rear wheels. I'm not sure if this would be the same on a GSX.
