I owned a 2002 Dodge Neon SXT.

I had my tires looked at and I was told that my right rear rim is bent pretty badly and my left rear rim is slightly bent.

I went to a tire place and they said to replace my rims (all 4) would cost about $550 which includes the rims ($113/per), balancing, lugnuts, valve. The rims are for a 15 in alloy wheels.

Is this too much money? I'm thinking yes and thinking about canceling the order.

Please help!

 

no dude its an average price for new 15's

 

Why do you need new lug nuts

 

it comes with em prolly...or maybe locking/special ones

 

Yeah, he said they were locking lugnuts.

But the more I think about it, I'm unemployed and I'll probably just buy one replacement rim.

I just dropped over $600 for a swaybar and bushing replacement.

 

its up to you then bro

 

I'm moving out of state in about 2 weeks; which is about 1000 miles from my current state (or 20hrs driving straight with a few breaks).

Do you think I can drive that many miles on my bent rims?

The rims isn't affecting my tires. I'm thinking maybe yes.

What do you say?

 

i say if you dont have really bad un-even tread wear and its not knocking then you'll be fine..

and just in case make sure you take a spare and your good to go...
where are you moving to?

 

ok, your the 3rd person to tell me that so I'm canceling my complete order. My tires are really good. They are 4 years old and I have over 70% of tread wear available. I work in the city so I don't need my car.

I'll go to the junk yard and get a good spare.

I'm moving to Colorado.


Thanks N3on!

 

Oh and my steering wheel just shakes a little bit. But its not noticeable for me anyway.
