I was stuck on a bridge and it started to rain. When I pushed on the gas to turn left, I lost control of the car and crashed into a curb that broke my rim. Now I hear a little a whisling sound from that area. Can anyone tell me what this could be because i'm taking it to the shop tomorrow and I don't want to get screwed over. Thanks for your help.


I have those ugly pony rims the 99-00s had.

 

which wheel? right front, left front...etc? driving on a broken rim is bad, which is a PERFECT time for you to get rid of those chitty rims you had on there (the ones like mine i'm assuming, yuck!)

 

Its the Rear drivers side. Not a good time because I have zero money and my mom is going to bail me out.

 

how did you "break" your rim...do you me like chip or what...also the whisling noise could be your tire leaking?...i dunnno, but i would deffinatley not drive that anywhere till it gets fixed.

 

I think he means bent. Yeah I dont kno bout that sound I'm sure someone does tho :/

 

This is what the rim looks like

 

yea i would defenately call that broke. damn man that sucks. hopefully the whisiling noise is just air flowing over that messed up spot or air leaking outa the tire.

 

ouch, lol, ya i would call that broke too, man thats really rough.....try sprayin some misty water on the tire and see if it is bubbling anywhere, hats kinda an easy way to tell if it is leaking in the tire wall anywhere. Or have you noticed the tire becoming reasonably softer?

 

lol wow when i crashed into a curb in my 68 stang nothing happened god that car was a beast ( hopefully I get it back in December :] ) but umm ya I don't think its anything too serious but the rim definately needs to be replaced. Go on craigslist or ebay to see if you can find a new stock wheel like yours if you don't have enough money to upgrade to all new wheels + tires.

 

Well, I hear a noise even when I switched to the Donut. I'm hoping its cheap because I found a woman selling Bullits for 250, Wheels included.
