If you hit a pothole and you believe this damaged your rim, you should be able to see that the rim is bent somewhere. When the put the wheel on the machine, the machine might tell them that the wheel is bent.

 

well looking at the rim standing still, it looks perfectly normal, nothing wrong at all. When i drive though and look at it it seems to wobble, and then slowing down and keeping my eye on the wobble spot i can kinda find it once i'm stopped, but it basically looks normal [&:]would the loss of a magnet or two really make it shake this much?

 

you need a specialized tire/rim shop to mend a rim. It does take a lot of research to find out a shop that does that.

 

aight i'll get it rebalanced/looked out and come back to you guys, thanks everyone

 

so i moved the wheel to the back passenger side and aperfectly good wheel up to the driver side front.It still shakes just as bad.......so my front driver side shakes violently with the 17"s on, and its just fine with the steelies on.....what now? Alignment? Or could the bad wheel still be causing my car to the shake this bad?

 

if the car is fine with the steelies and doesn't pull or shake then its the 17s. if it doesn't shake but pulls with the steelies you should still get an alignment. Actually, probably wouldn't hurt to get an alignment done anyway if its been awhile since your last one. Its a good time to check your suspension for anything that might be worn/broken/loose. Chances are good that you bent one of you 17s tho, good luck getting it all taken care of

 

^ yea steelies dont shake, and no matter what rim i have, the front drivers side tire shakes really bad from 55-70 mph. The supposedly warped rim is on the back passenger side now, but the shake it still there. I'm going to get alignment/balance ASAP, hopefully that'll help a little bit

 

i would switch it to your steelies then i wouldn't risk it.

 

if it's always that one corner, that wheel bearing might be bad.
