I might have a bend or out of balance wheel on the car. I can't exactly tell. Seems like at certain speed the car drives oddly (shakes slightly, vibrates). Low speeds (up to 30 mph) smooth. I am leaning more towards a out of balance wheel since I think that if the wheel itself was bent it would feel odd at all speeds... Am I correct on that assumption? Also I do have the tire psi light on but I just have not had a chance to take care of it since it came on last night. I did hit a couple of large bumps on the interstate itself in the Dallas area. I do not know if its common for these wheels to be bent from that or they require a lot more impact. Any thoughts or info would be appreciated.

Could be either or. I have had both happen to me before. My stock 18s were indestructible though, I hit numerous large potholes, curbs etc.. never cracked.

I talked to the dealership and they say that they see it often.. I guess my first step is going to be to get a balance done and then see how it is after that. If it is a bent wheel they told me that there is a company that fixes the wheels instead of actually having to replace them. So I might go that route.

After finally having a chance to check out the wheel themselves it seems as if I have 3 bent wheels on the car. 2 of the bent wheels (The front two) I have known about for awhile. Now the 3rd (LR) is new to me. I was considering repairing the wheels since that is the cheaper solution and I have heard good things about. It seems to be the most cost effective fix. Any advice on that aspect of things? I figured I would get all 3 of the wheels fixed while I was at it.
