Horrible Vibration

kostas09 · 07-03-2009, 11:53 AM

About a month ago, when the grand central parkway was being repaved, right where the old road started and the torn up area ended, there was a curb up on to the old. I hit that at around 50mph and blew out the front right tire and got bubbles in all the others. I had all the tires changed, but now have a horrible vibration when driving the car which gets progressively worse at higher speeds. I took it to BMW and they told me that all 4 rims are bent. I am having difficulty believing that ALL 4 rims are bent. Regardless, they told me they wanted $2400 to replace all 4 rims. I refuse to pay that.

Not sure where I can get all 4 rims for cheaper? Or if they can be repaired? Any help would be appreciated...

Bring it to an alternative wheel/tire shop and ask them to run a Road Force machine to test to see if they are out of round. That would be the best option right now IMO.
