dannycisneros Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 (edited) So I bought some 14" pugs. The guy I bought them from had tires mounted on them and had used them on his old gl. The tires were bad so I had them taken off and noticed one had a gash along the edge and another one was a little warped. Do you guys think this will affect getting new tires and putting them on my gl? Both are in the inner part of the rim if that matters. Thanks.

comatosellama Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Take it to discount tire if you can, they'll be able to sell you. But from my experience, yes a bent rim will drive funny, but it was flattened, not curved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannycisneros Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 What do you mean flattened not curved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnW Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 The gash looks like it is outside the bead area so it shouldn't matter. The bent "warped" rim I would at a minimum install on the rear of the car. They won't be able to balance it well with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naru Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Might seal OK,but,the bent one looks too bent to use, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannycisneros Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 Thanks guys. I will probably end up buying something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comatosellama Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 What do you mean flattened not curved? I hit a curb in my miata, so from the side the rim wasn't a perfect curve, it was flat. Also ruined the lca and tie rod. Any chance you're willing to sell those if you end up buying something else? I only offroad so balancing is no issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannycisneros Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 Do you possibly have any wheels you would trade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comatosellama Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Do you possibly have any wheels you would trade? Good ol 13 inch 4x140s which I'm assuming are what you don't want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannycisneros Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 Do you have any pictures? After this I think I want to get a 6 lug conversion cause 4x140 is too hard to find good looking wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRhere Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Google alloy rim repair. There is a few places in Washington. The gouge can be filled and smoothed out. The bend can be straightened, but it's not for the novice to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannycisneros Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 Thanks I contacted someone but still considering to sell them and do a 6 lug conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
