Arrow Rims bent.

After a month of headaches because my RR tire would lose pressure even after installing brand new rear tires I take my car to Honda. They found out what was really wrong with the picture; my rim was cracked and bent and they also gave me a bonus the front driver rim was also bent. I sent the rims to Turbax. I've being without my S for almost a week now and I can't stand it anymore. Hopefully I'll get it back by tomorrow. .

Has any of you guys have experienced anyting like this?

I really don't remember going over anything that can damage my rim that way. Im going to drive like an old lady from now on. RIIIIIIIIGGGGHHHHHTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!

What size? You have to hit a bump pretty hard to bend a stock rim... to crack it is another story altogether. this was a concern on 18s in Boston, but those streets suck.

My rims are the factory 17's. I most of being eating crap or the music was all the way up for me not to noticed it. Well it happened, and the only thing I can do now is and deal with it.

Why the hell would Honda replace them? Even if the rim was defective, it certainly didn't bend itself. And two rims certainly aren't going to bend themselves. If you hit anything hard enough to bend/crack two rims, you know it... it's just not something you can pass over with a track from a Milli Vanilli CD.

It's true, I most of hit something but did not think of it as to serious at the moment and most probably forgot. I already sent the rim that was cracked to Turbax and they did a great job on it. The front rim only has a very minor bent so I will deal with it until I get my new wheels hopefully soon. Thanx for the input guys.
