Angry I'm not a happy guy right now.

So, I'm bringing the garbage cans back into the garage and I'm noticing how the the G badly needs a bath. As I'm walking from the rear to the front of the car, I see something funny on my front passenger rim, right where the tire & the wheel meet. Is that brake dust on the outer edge? Is it grease?

So I look closely and then back away to get a look from a distance . . . Nope, it's not dirt or grease or anything like that . . . it's a fvcking bend in the rim.

So, now that's 2 bent rims.

Sorry, just had to vent.

Thanks for hearing me out.

Thanks guys & gal.

I feel like I am at a crossroads right now with my wheels. Invest the money to have the bends fixed, or sell them and move on to a different set of wheels.

Thanks, Shane. If money were no object, I'd have my next set of rims ordered tomorrow morning. I just don't know if it's worth trying to fix these rims again.

The bend is not bad, but it definitely noticeable.
