Default SSR GT3

I think one of my SSR GT3 wheels has a very slight bend, and sucks that I can not find them ANYWHERE anymore... anyone know where to find a barrel for them? The bend did not show up on a balance test as they were able to balance it out, but I still have a small vibration at 75 mph and it isnt very pronounced besides that.

I have tried new tires on front and rear and it is still there, I know it has to be a small possible bend because I hit a ****** brick no the 5 some time ago that blew the front tire out.

you can send your wheel to get repaired, you may even find a place local that fixes bends.. search around and ask people in your area. It'll be cheaper then buying a used wheel anyway + like you said they don't make GT3's anymore so the chance of finding only one for sale in your exact size is highly unlikely... you may never find it

How do you know your wheel is bent? The vibration could be from something else....

I'd start with getting your suspension looked at on the corner that you hit something with.

Discount tire did a roadforce test and told me one had a slight hop. Ill the hop only happens at a certian speed and no other time.
