1. Vibration And Shakiness When Steering
One of the most obvious signs of a bent rim is shakiness and vibration that gets transmitted up the steering column.
2. Your Car Isn’t Handling The Way It Used To
A buckled mag wheel can lead to issues with your tyre pressure and other problems which may significantly impact the steering and performance of your vehicle.
3. There Is Visible Damage To Your Wheel
It is not always easy to see a damaged wheel, but you should carry out an inspection.
4. Your Tyre Keeps Deflating
Your wheel is designed to fit flush against your tyre. When the wheel is bent and pulls away from the tyre, it can cause air leaks, or even press against the rubber and cause a flat.
If your tyre is deflating quickly and you find yourself filling it up every few days or weeks, you may have some tyre damage that is causing a slow leak. If you continue driving on this tyre, you could be at risk of a serious blowout, so you should get it fixed right away.
