Ouch. Souvenir from the Bronx

How do I fix that? Hammer? Or wait a couple of weeks till I put the summer wheels back on and take it in somewhere?

If you hit it with a hammer it might crack nd youll never get it back to round.

You need to take that wheel to a repair shop with the proper equipment and expertise. I would put your summers on a bit early, because something like that isnt something that you want to drive on.

The weather is fine for summers also, its warming up.

If it makes a difference my summers are going on next week.

Quick OT, does anybody else find it ironic that the wheel bent right where the tire says "Achtung!"?

HAHA, funny, well not the damage, but the post...

Sux, I have the same problem with my Centerline rims on my current DD, bent rim and a slow leak, have to air it up every day, on top of that I tore a chunk of rubber the size of a table tennis ball out of my sidewall on the opposite side...

I need to get a replacement set for the car, sell it and dump the 15 grand into the 135i.

When I read "Souvenir from the Bronx" I was expecting you to have pictures of the 4 cinder blocks your car was left on after your rims were stolen.

So sad, but true. Heres a tip, if its past 11, and the light is red, don't stop.

It appears to me that it is a right rear wheel by the appearance of the brake caliper. So the tire is mounted in the correct direction.

Typically you see those types of bent rims in the front and not the rear. So it did look confusing at first sight.
