Need Advice for New Wheels...
Had new tires installed and wheels balanced last November and was told the rims were "slightly bent." I'm not quite sure if that is a big issue or not...perhaps like being a little bit pregnant.
Getting the wheels striaghtened is going to be an expensive proposition. I'm thinking that installing new wheels would be a viable alternative. I have 20" Sentas, like the looks and would like to replace with the same.
What are your thoughts on aftermarket wheels? Advertised on this forum are the 20" Sentas for $695.00 ++. That's less than repairing my current wheels without even considering the cost of repairing the curb rash.
I fully understand that in many, not all, instances you do get what you pay for. I am not averse to paying for quality but certainly not enthralled with overpaying.
The only thing I know is to check the tire pressure weekly especially if there is a significant temperature change. I know absolutely nothing about wheels.
Any guidance would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Take a look at an earlier post https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...cutives-89505/ These are a set of very nice looking wheels.
