1 cracked rim, other 3 rims bent, Glad I bought the wheel/tire insurance

marzapan81 · 01-27-2010, 02:03 PM

The insurance is covering the cost of the new Rim and getting the other 3 fixed. But..

I am wondering if I should be looking for any other damage ( tires) ? before I pick up my car tomorrow ?

thanks

Sounds like you went over something hard.

Look for the bubbles on the tires/sidewalls.
Inspect the shocks to see if any oils are leaking, most likely wont be.
Get an alignment to see if there are any bent suspension arms, but i guess you will do this after getting the wheels back.
