Default Wabble in Wheel/Rims of 2005 Sonata

After rotating my tires I noticed a wabble up front. I re-rotated my fronts to the rear and it went away. My Rims are Six spoke alloy Part # 70732S.

I bought new tires and the tech. said both my rear rims where bent or had a deprssion from hitting something (curb or pothole).

Most of the rim repair ads show before and after of bad scrapes to the exterior spokes and look like they are polished out. My exterior doesnt give any indication of damage.

How can I check my wheels?

Sure. I have refurbished 17" aluminum wheels on my Kia Sedona. Got them off eBay for under $100 each.

I havent seen my rim on eBay or Craigs List. I was hoping I could get a deal. Rim repair places want 130 - 150 per wheel.

Is this the wheel you have?



These are the 16" aluminum wheels. I've seen them on eBay from time to time.

No, but I went back to eBay and found it. Thanks!
$140.00 plus Shipping (FEDEX). If I had the money I would buy it. I'm a Sr, Citizen on a fixed income and have to pay off new tires and other repair work.

I now remember the pot hole I hit. It was a small crater.
It turned out that one rim was severly bent on the inner side.
Went to Dent Wizard in Phoenix. They took care of my wheel in 1 hour. Very convenient, very professional. $135.00
