doubt there bent seeing how i never really used em need to be rebalanced then allignment big diff. from the steelies
 
I think they look cheesy. Especially with the tiny tires and the massive wheel gap. Just soo you know alingment shouldn't change depending on what rims you have on. If that was the case i would have to get my **** aligned every 2 weeks

um yeah taking care of that after suspension, but thanks for your 2 cents. Not to mention if that doesn't fix it Bagged isn't going to screw me over so I am not that worried.
 
they drove nice the last time i drove em about 6 months ago dont see how they could get bent off the car:shrug:
 
Those look better than 18" OZ superleggera's? Not like your opinion matter to much Ronald McDonald
 
40 series.. I have to take it in tomorrow or friday, somehow the alignment is all ****ed up :shrug: that or they need to be balanced, I will see when I go in.
What's the issue? You can of course have vibrations from bad balance. If he had alignment issues (very possible with his bagged contour) then the tires could have abnormal wear that can cause noise and maybe some vibration if they're bad, but you should be able to tell that yourself when you got them just from looking at the tires.
And there are other less likely things that can happen like out of round or separated tires.
Or like that guy said, bent wheel is a possibility but bagged said it's unlikely.
