how do you tell you have a bent rim??
How do you tell if you have a bent rim/rims..b/c lately i've noticed a "dug dug dug" type of noise when im cruising at around 40Km/h or lower.. when i go faster.. the noise goes away..
and IF my rims are bent.. what could happen if I keep driving on them?..Thanks

A bent rim is kind of obvious to see.
You may need to take it off the car to see if it’s the INSIDE edge.
Your problem sounds more like a BUBBLE in the tire.

i doubt its the rim because 2 outta my 4 are bent and i've gone 131mph on them and didn't get any vibrations even at low speeds. So check the tires, could be alignment, or lugs

Sounds like cause and effect. Car fine before work, noise after (yes/no?)
Did you have the tires balanced?
