Way toooooo much bling on the second choice. That looks like it ought to be hanging from a chain around the neck of Snoop Dog.

Id opt for the non beadlock which would clean it up a lot. They are as expensive as something snoop dog would hang from his chain!

I just want a light weight and strong 20" doesn't need to be super wide 8.5" is fine. No crazy back spacing and I really like natural aluminum, chrome or some other shiny silver color. Not a big fan of black or vibrant stuff like neon green or red. Probably end up staying with something OEM GM has made so many nice options.

I hate the voice of reason sometimes. Your right though especially since I dropped the spare a few weeks ago and not sure I want to put it back. Although I do have AAA a compressor and 2 cans of Fix a flat on board.

Oh now your getting silly. I just don't know what wheels I'd want. Right now its a toss up between these. The first one is a future possibility and the second is way out of budget.

Yes, plus as it rolls the tire will flex and may spit some air past that bent bead as the tire bead is not gonna be fully seated at the flat area. I think you should just give up and buy a new set of 4 wheels. Not my money.
For bragging about being an old guy, as ive seen you do many times, you sure do whine like a baby when someone disagrees with you. As for beating it with a hammer.. ill take the advice of people who work with aluminum over "well we used to hit things with hammers and it was fine a long time ago".. grow up dude. Youre ****** wrong in this case. Youve learned something, be happy that doing the wrong thing for so long has not caused you any issues, and do better next time.


To the op- 50 is great to fix that. Dont drive on that for too long.

Gotta say I've seen the hammer method fix many airplanes. But yeah I need to get it fixed just haven't really had time yet plus there's no felt vibration and I have checked on it. It doesn't seem to have gotten bigger, cracked or anything else crazy.

At this age, you don't brag about it you just lay it out there. You can take it any way you want. You must be way younger because you don't seem to care about punctuation. That can be a clue about someone who doesn't care about doing things right or liking to lash out because you can. Plus, copy and paste any thread I have been involved with where I WHINED about something or whined about disagreeing with someone. My hammer method may be old school but it has worked for me. The thread asked for opinions. I offered mine. By the way, I am fully grown. But I do appreciate the help in making me understand just how petty some people can be.

Also, if you would like, I will call a WAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHMBULANCE for you if you need. It appears I said "lighten up Francis" to the wrong person.
