need a wheel or 2
Well, my string of back luck continues. Thanks to the Illinois Highway Dept,
I managed to bend 2 wheels (nee rims) yesterday. Hit the lip in the surface @
45mph, the legal speed limit in the area with no posted warnings about the huge
lip in the road surface.
I thought my biggest problem would be getting them to pay for the wheels. It
turns out the wheels are NLA.
The wheels are Team Dynamics DTM 17x7.5 164 spec offset. I have them
installed on a Verde, not that it matters.
The rear wheel has a little dent in the lip and will probably be ok. Its
barely noticable. The front is trashed. It has a small crack in it. I
took a BFH to the lip and whacked it back into shape and surprisingly it holds
air for now. Not going to drive fast or far on it.
If anyone has a wheel or leads to a wheel (or 2) I'd appreciate it. US or
International. Email direct since this is not of general interest.
Thanks
-Peter
