    If there isn't a motorcyclist for the cop to hassle they usually look for the multicolored clown car.

    funny thing is I was in my Wife's xterra and the cop was on a bike.

    p.s. if you are traveling I-20 in Arlington they are heavy on the revenue hunt this week.

    Picking up the rims on Sat, they were able to repair the 7in crack and massive bends, I am impressed!
    My new risers will be in for the bike on Sat too so that will be back on the road, being without transportation sux!! even if only for a few days

    ok, got the wheels on the car.
    The car has a slight shimmy in it now above 65 mph.
    I looked hard under the car and didnt see anything wrong, and feel that the wheels are still slightly bent, It would have to be a pretty slight bend to only shake just a little above 65
    With the Tein Flex coilovers and MS sway bar I feel every little thing the car says.
    It actually feels like its still got a good allignment.

    I will drive it like this, and slow till i can get a new set of rims

    Just because you can't see anything doesn't mean it didn't get knocked out of alignment.

    try putting the 'fixed' rims on the back and see if anything changes. may be a bit easier to drive while you have to wait.
    also did they really balance them well when you had the tires put back on?

    This was the case for me when my front passenger side hopped up on a curb at 20mph.
    By the look of your rims it could be possible.
    Then again most places only balance to what, 55?

    If you paid for straight wheels and they're still bent even a little...id take them back and tell them about it. But if you hit something hard enough to bend wheels there's a good chance something else is bent.

    You might jack up each corner and spin the wheel with a close eye to catch any warpage. Seems like even a slight bend would become apparent with a spinning wheel.
