bad news for the yukon

[titanium02]

on the drive from VA to Atlanta, I noticed a good bit of vibration from like 65 mph up.. getting worse around 80-85..

took it by butler tire.. a real top-notch wheel place and they told me as soon as they lifted it up that it had 3 bent rims.

I knew i've hit some good potholes on I-64 in VA but damn... 3 bent rims.. needless to say they couldnt do sh*t for me so now i'm left with 2 options..

get new rims - (only problem with this is the $$)
fix mine - they said they could do it for like 135/rim wouldn't be too much more to get BRAND new ones..


So now I gotta get new wheels pretty soon.. don't want to vibrate too much and mess something else up.

No pain no gain lol. But all jokes aside, i'd just sweat it out till you find some different rims you want.

Sorry to hear that, I have heard the U2 wheels have breaking/bending issue from alot of wheels shops during my wheels search.
Were you having constant air pressure issue with them prior to finding this out.

they couldn't do anything with the balancing? maybe throw a few ounces on each rim?

Ouch!!! sorry to hear that, but those low profile tire in my opinion is just asking for it.....not enough rubber to absorb impact.

Man that sucks to hear. You have some pretty sweet rims.

yeah i'm just gonna wait till I can find some different ones for a good price.. i'm pretty picky on rims so it might take a bit.

the rims are bent/dented pretty good on the inner part.. they said it was too much to counter-act..

i'm not the best at remembering to check air psi.. so there could have been part of my problem. usually takes $$ for me to learn my lessons

This was my 1st real set of rims.. so I didnt really know how to take care of them at first.. so now they are lightly scratched up.. my next set i'll be better prepared.


boy new rims just sounds like a flagrent expense right now..
