Bent Rims =(

Spinny02 · 10-23-2014, 10:07 PM

SO here it goes......

I have two bent 601's.

I have to say.... many forum members called it.... they are cast and are more prone to such damage. I really don't like the the look of 343's so i am thinking about a set of Dinan rims or just stock 601s again.

I have no clue how it happened, but i found out when i took the car to the tire shop to swap out my spacers. I can't remember any road hazards or pot holes.

I would highly encourage others to stay away from the 601's or make sure that you have the tire/rim insurance (as i do). Its still a pain in the butt and time consumer getting the new rims.

No bueno Jonathan. Go for the Dinans. ;-)

Those dinans that Mac has are really nice. But if I'm correct I think the rear needed spacers. Am I right Mac?

John. Rollos on Richmond can fix the bent wheel.

Yes, I added 12mm on the rears; fronts are fine.

RPiM5 · 11-17-2014, 08:29 PM

How badly bent are they? I just discovered last week that all 4 of my wheels are very slightly bent but not bad enough to cause any kind of oscillations or air leaks. So I am not going to worry about it. It's because of these damned East Coast roads. I have the original 343M's still on my car. I honestly thought they would be worse than they are now having over 45,000 miles on them. I'd definitely go for the Dinans if possible. Lightweight and 1 piece Monoblock.

Dave yea those wheels r really bad azz. I wouldn't mind a set. I have one wheel that is slightly off and will get it fixed. Spinny had told me they are slightly off.

Aftermarket wheels with spacers? With so many quality custom made forged rims available?

Lol +1

If I'm gonna pay over $4K for a set of rims, they better not need spacers to make them fit!

mcvaughan · 12-12-2014, 07:37 PM

They don't NEED spacers. I just wanted the wheel more flush with the fender well.

And they do look good on that bad boyeee.
