Matador · 10-17-2011, 08:29 PM

hit a sidewalk yesterday , was a very low speed impact but it still carved into the rim and tore the side of the tire
Anyone know if it is worth the fix . i got a quote for $75 on the rim , tire got hit on the side and will need to be changed

I don't see a big problem here

75$ only?

I even don't think that you should necessary change the tire...

Matador · 10-18-2011, 09:06 AM

it actually is deeper than it looks, plus the damage is on the side and as the tire heats up it expands - so there is a risk that it will blow or puncture as i am driving -

I'd suggest replacing the tire, just to be safe.

In regards to the wheel, assuming it's not bent out of shape and it's just missing a small chunk, it may be possible to repair it. It's a little hard to see in the photo, but some places can fill in the area and paint it to look like it did when it came from the factory.

$75 for a fix, thats a steal! Ditch the tire or at least keep it as a back up
