Hahaha. I really don't have any experience with Detroit's roads myself. I just have to go on what the car mags seem to always say. As for tire size, I'm running the stock 215/45/18s. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't adding millimeters to the first number just add width? I think the...

That's exactly how we found out about our first bent rims. They said it would balance out, but would cause some vibration, especially if put in the front. They did cause some mild vibration as they stated it would.

Ha! Nope, we don't live in Detroit. (rlaugh)

Yeah, these are the y spoke rims. That figures. Anyone else out there having trouble with their y spoke rims? I'm wondering if this is a pattern.

So it seems its been pretty easy for us to bend the rims on our Mazda 6. We have the GT package with the 18s. We keep bending them mildly on the inside just enough to give us a slight vibration. We don't even know when it's happening. Mild potholes is the only thing we can think of that may...

I too am having problems with uneven tire wear, but my problem is on the inside edge. My stock Pirellis wore the inside bald at about 20k and now my Kumho replacements have about 24k and are doing the same thing. From day one, the car has pulled to the right. I took it to the dealership and...

Ah, Gotcha. Yeah, I was a little worried about that. Figured they might get eaten up pretty fast if used in the mild winters we have. Thanks for the advice!

Anyone use these on our cars before? Do they offer as much difference as the reviews tend to say they do? Anyone suggest other options for mild winters with the occasional snow like we have here in the south?

Sweet! This thread helped me fix my passenger window issue and learn a new trick about my car! I had to replace my factory Motorcraft battery that was not even three years old. I definitely didn't go back with the Motorcraft battery. What a piece of junk. And the key fob roll down feature...

Ttt

OK, I've had these awhile and I know the bends don't help me in selling them, but I figured someone could use these for a spare, winter or summer tires, getting them repaired, or something else.

Ah, that's a good point. That very well could have happened. So how do I find out the correct torque specs?

So I had to take my 6 into the dealership last week for warped rotors. We never excessively brake so I'm not sure why it already had warped rotors at 26k miles. Anyone else have issues with their rotors warping early? I've had dozens of cars and this is the first one that I've ever needed to...

Looks like shipping will be $56 for all 4 for a total of $156. Let me know. Eric

New price. I want these out of my garage.

That's a good question. Wheels 1 and 2 I didn't even know were bent until the tech at the dealership told me they were. My wife and I don't remember ever hitting anything that felt like it would bend a wheel. Just the usual bumps and divits in the road. Wheel 3 and 4 are from a set I bought...

Still available if anyone is interested.

Bump for lower price. Make offers! Include your zip.

I have 4 18" Mazda6 GT Wheels for sale. Wheel 1 is in great shape. It came off a 2007 Mazda6 with 25,000 miles. It has the slightest bend in the back as shown in picture 4. It balances perfectly and does not leak. - $30+ shipping Wheel 2 is also in great shape. Came off same Mazda6. It...

I might be. Can you pm me the details?
