Buckled NC Rims -

Postby IB1ZA » Sat Sep 25, 2010 6:17 pm

Hi All,

I have just been told that I have three buckled rims on my 2007 NC. All though I can't notice the difference, this is what I'm being told by two Tyre centers. I have a question, Can buckled rims cause faster wear on tyre's ? Some people tell me yes, some people tell me no. Also is it possible my rims may be buckled because I'm using low profile tyres so when I hit kerbs, pot holes etc the force goes straight to the rim?

I'm getting them sorted out at AJAX wheels in Moorabbin, Victoria on Monday morning.

Neway Wheel Repairs come highly recommended.
I have been happy with their work.

Bit closer than Moorabbin!
