So a few days ago, I brought all 8 of my rondell style 58's to a wheel repair place. I knew I had atleast 3-4 bent rims. I had bought the 2nd set to use as spares and hopefully get a good set with a few repairs.
Today, get a phone call - all 8 have at least one bend, and a few have up to 3 different bends. Luckily, he made me a break - $60 each if I did all of them.
I have a feeling the M3 is going to feel like new now - as I knew 90% of the vibes currently were wheel related.
and now the vert will be wearing some new shoes too :)
I guess the point of this is
A) stock wheels always seem stronger than non-OEM (although I have a bent stlye 68 in my set of those...)
B) don't think your wheels are perfect if you haven't dial-indicated them recently. I believe a lot of vibes are easily tire/wheel related.
C) BMW camber is a bitch off the track.
