what might i have done???

BiO-TecH · 12th June 2008, 02:25 PM

hey, basically i've been a bit of a t!t, i've taken a roundabout in the wet n lost the back end, managed to hold on but clipped the front right wheel on the way out

.
i was going slightly off parallel to the curb at about 15-20 mph?
still drives but pulls to the right a bit, and the steering wheel shakes a fair bit if i go over 60.
what probs might i have and how much d'ya reckon it's gonna set me back?
could it just be the tracking or is that just wishful thinking and something bigger?

I reckon you've knackered your alloy. Get your wheel balanced and check to see whether the rim has been flat spotted.

With your car pulling to the right you will probably have bent something
and also with a wobble on the steering you have probably bent your wheel.

I would get it checked out quickly as it could well be dangerous to drive it like that.

feared you were gonna say that, just hope flynn's right,
how much might i be looking at paying?
am i lookin at 100's or will it b over 1k?

No one will be able to give you an idea of cost until you get it checked out and priced up

Let us know how you get on

sorry I couldn't be more help

When I bent a front alloy I got a vibration over 60mph. Rob right though, if she's pulling then you've probably bent something as well.

If I were you I would be speaking to my insurance company...... that's what I did and got a nice shiny new set of alloys out of it.

youve buckled the wheel and bent something if youve got vibes and it now pulls to one side.

get it looked at asap

hey again, been for a check, one wheels knackered so i'm looking at a new set, i've seen some gram lights, 18"x9.5" what ET would i need to fit them?
what work would i need to do to fit 19s, what tyres would be best and what width wheel could i fit under standard arches?
