I was washing the car on the weekens and noticed 2 small "bends" in one rim. I must have hit a pot-hole or something. They are 17" superleggeras. The tire has not lost any pressure lately and the biggest bump is in the outer lip maybe 1/4 to 1/3 inch. You can barely see them I only noticed cause when I was cleaning the edge it felt uneven. Is this something to be worried about or should I just monitor it.
Thanks for any input

 

As long as the tire pressure doesn't drop, don't worry about it. As part of your regular maintaining the car, you should be checking the PSI every couple weeks or so anyhow.

 

thanks a lot I feel better now. I just put them on 2 weeks ago so I was feeling kind of down.

 

If its sticking out to the side. Get yourself a dead blow hammer and put a rag over the spot and give it a whack. Dead blow hammers won't leave marks.

 

go caveman on it......bash it with a rock

 

The Hammer trick does work... Just be careful....

Damn 2 weeks and you already bent a rim? wow.. Drive more careful dude. Rims ain't cheap... trust me, I have 18's and I take care of them as much as I do my car.

 

How's the roads up in Nova?

 

The roads suck. We were on the way to the beach and it was the pothole or a tourbus on a narrow bridge, Usually drive pretty careful just had real bad timing that day.

 

its not a bent rim a bent rim you would feel when you drive becuase i bent my o.z wheels and it feels like driving on a oval or a square . i would say the samething if it loses psi check it out unless other wise its fine
