Bent T-5 Wheel

Post by 98S70T5 »

Guys, anyone willing to let go of a nice 5 spoke 98 T-5 Wheel? My girlfriend was driving the car home Saturday night and smashed a pothole the size of Yankee stadium. The bent part of the rim is barely noticeable but its got a nice shake at highway speeds now and I am not sure I trust a wheel shop to get this one back to proper runout again.

Thanks,

Check Ebay. I smashed up a Perfo wheel on a pothole and it was about $100 for a replacement shipped.

Ended up picking up a Keystone reproduction for 130.00. We have an old account with the company from our used dealership days.
