Ok guys I need some advice. I have 3 rims that are bent. 2 that are pretty bad. They are the euro rs 63's. I got them from another forum member awhile back so I got a great deal on them. So should I just replace the bent rims or go with another brand? I would hate to be back in this situation again if these wheels are prone to bending. Now keep in mind I don't want to spend a ton on new wheels either. So I will not be in the club of the 5k wheels. Thoughts?

I know a few people running monarchs, and I run them and have never had any problems...

What profile tires you using? trying going up a profile?

And avoid pot holes! :P haha

Are you running 18- or 19-rims?

There are great options for wheels that won't run you 5k. Forgestars, ADV cast, Vossen. Hell Email Peter @ ACGSD and talk to him about that special for Rennen wheels. KILLER DEAL for some really nice forged wheels. Peter was extremely helpful when I was deciding on my new set of shoes. I'd be hesitant to point you elsewhere.

Agreed. Those Rennen wheels look great, and the special pricing is a helluva deal! Plus a forged wheel should be able to handle more abuse.

I am running 20's. I did think about the rennen and considering some HRE 841's but hate the non instant gratification of the build time.

I feel you on that! It sucks waiting.

If I tell you how long it will take to build mine will it make you feel better?

How long and what are you having built

I have a set of 20s with brand new tires if you are interested. $2000. PM me for brand as I do not want to make any sponsors mad. 3 Piece Forged and very quality.

8 weeks and it's a wheel brand that is banned from this forum.

Wow 8 weeks! Pm me the details.

If you're running 20-rims - and therefore ultra-low-profile tyres - in an area with pot holes et al, bent rims may well be a fact of life. I'm running 18s and higher profile tyres but hv still bent a few rims...and lost a few tyres. You might want to consider trying 19s. Some excellent designs of those available. Not perhaps with the same visual impact as yr 20s, but they will be less prone to damage. Running with yr suspension setting in comfort may also help. Alternatively, of course, you could just stock up on additional 20s, and grin and bear it...
Brgds.
