New Wheels! Now Tires?

[BruceH]

Looks like the wheels will have to go back. I had the Michellins mounted the other day but two of the rims were bent. One front and one rear. You can only see it when the wheels are spinning. to the naked eye, the rims look fine. So I had Discount Tire take the tires off and I called LA Dismanteler. They thought they might have two replacements but I heard back from them yesterday day that they don't. So, they are refunding my money and now they will be shipped back. I have to say that LAD was very good through out this. They have apologized several times. They guarantee their wheels which is why I felt comfortable dealing with them. Buying used wheels from a private seller would be a big risk IMO. So it is disappointing but oh well, no big deal.

Discount Tire was also great. I have bought tires from them many times and they have been very good to me. They didn't charge me anything for the mount and dismount even though I tried to give them something for their time and effort.

Bummer! During my search for 03-04 Boxster "CarreraII liteweight" 18 X 9" wheels I bought bent wheels twice on E-bay & returned them. Anytime you are introducing a unknown wheel to your car put it on a wheel balancer & spin it up so you can observe how true it is & how much weight is needed to balance it. This avoids issues later & yes this applies to new wheels also.
