I have a set of NB8A rims on my NA8. It would appear my son has flatspotted the 2 fronts ,not badly, but enough i thought to cause an issue. Jacked up the front and spun the wheels and one rim is about 1mm out of round . Is THAT going to be a problem aside from a flat spotted tyre, or should i try to locate a single rim[bigger problem] Cheers John

i have a problem like that.. steering wheel gets vibrations when i go over 80-100km/h.... its because i've got a buckled rim..

best to see if you can get it fixed first.. if not, that single rim replaced.. in worse case scenario, buy a new set of rims

http://www.mx5plus.com.au/ might have some

I'm told these rims are easy to buckle

Spitty that does not sound a real flash situation. However one of your friendly tyre / wheel shops should be able to check it and see if it is out of balance and whether it is rectifiable. I also imagine rims are buyable afterall cars do get recycled.

Thanks chaps
Rim is certainly out of round . Will drop off tomorrow to have it rerolled [$120] Wish i,d read the MX5Plus add 1st
thanks John

going to Adelaide Wheel & Rim Works? they guy behind the front desk is a turd. much friendlier service at the Wheel repair place directly across the road haha (can't remember there name but it's where I went to for re-rolling my old daisy NA6 wheel). get a quote from both.

G,day Vu. Thanks for that . I,ve had work done on these rims before at \"Extensive Wheel Services\". Very good job but expensive. @ $110 per rim. I hope this is the end of these issues otherwise there will bee a set of NB8A rims for sale. Pick it up Friday ,,,, hopefully the tyre is not flat spotted [badly]. My son wont be driving it again unless i,m in with him

Cheers John
