Question

I'm now in the position to 'boot up' my Scoobysport 17" Mims.....

However, I was told when I had 'em that one had been buckled/warped in a pot-hole incident.

How do you check? Any ideas on how much it will cost? etc etc etc...

Cheers

Dan

I'd try taking the wheel to a tyre garage and ask the guy to put it on the wheel balancing thingy. Once he's spun it up it'll highlight anything obvious. If nothing shows then doesn't mean it's ok though, if that happens then not sure though !

I think you need to have them X-rayed to see if they're cracked. A good tyre place should be able to send them off somewhere.
