I posted this in the problems and fixes, but I'll delete that one, and hopefully this'll get better hits. Thank!

Kinda got a problem, bent a 19 in rim this weekend 200 miles away from work, the rim doesnt hold air at all, gotta get back to work tomorrow. Sooo, no other way of transportion back.. so 2 options:

drive with 1 rim and 3 19's and mess up all my other 3 tires and bearings, or drive with 2 donuts, and 2 rims (2 donuts in the front, 2 rims on the back), and hopefully decrease the uneven wear???

Thanks again.

DUDE, just put the donut in the back and you will be fine. i had to drive about 2weeks with the spare in the back and its okay up to about 50-60mph...gl

it should be fine for 1 or two days on the rear. i wouldn't go on any trips with it though.

Well 200 miles is a long trip. It's doable but I would not go over 55MPH. Also no sudden lane shifts & go slow over rough roads.

I drove 150 miles at normal driving speeds down I95 with the donut in the back. It drove fine. As long as it is in the back it should be fine.

im not a big fan of donuts AT ALL...i'd just go to enterprise and rent one for how long it would take...thats just me, but these guys seem like they know what theyre talking about

yes interesting setup and mod, where can i buy these-here donuts for my car! lol usually people ask if certain mod setups are okay, dont here about this too often. hope everything works out for you man! if i ever saw a CL on the side of the road, id take a moment of silence for it...

What I ended up doing was trying to jack the car, then inflating the tire to see if really was the rim or a missalligned tire - well that ended up doing the job and the wheel hasnt lost any air since! But, why it went flat the first time in the first place.... is still a mystery.

Thanks for all the advice everyone!

Might have been a bad valve stem. I've seen them. A nudge with an air hose sometimes messes with the little pin inside & it fixes.
