NYC road sucks

I started to get some vibration on my car again today.

I took all 4 wheel off and mount them on the balancing machine, slowelly turn the rims and measure the round off and I found all 4 Rims are bent a little, this explain the minor vibration I'm getting at high speed. this really sucks I just replace one of the rims few months ago. This time I just going to get the rim fix, forget about getting new rims.

Does anyone here know a good place to fix rims around NYC area?

Depends on the rims, I went through two sets of rims in the streets of nyc, and i also looked in to getting the rim fixed, but found that the rims i had it just wasn't worth it.

yup. the roads do suck, but if you get the wrong kinds of rims, it'll happen to you really fast. maybe even as you roll down a block right after you get it. i know alot of people who has 18-19 inch rims that has never came close to bending or messing up the rim and theyre always in nyc. theyre pretty crazy drivers too

These are the stock 16inch rims, I just got all my rim fix, the car drive smooth now, cost me $100 for all 4 rims. They heat the rims up bang that shit out, remount the tire and balance. Is good for now. I'll get new rims when is time to get new tire.

Hey thanks for the INFO, but SI is a little too far for me, I found a 24 hours wheel place near my house and got it fix last night. So how's the Ignitor work out?
