Quick Question

K my buddy and i are having a little argument, he has a set of winter rims/tires on..and i think one of the rims are warped, b,c when he drives the steering wheel shakes, and he does not agree with me, and i also told him that it has to affect ur car in a negative way somehow, and something down the road is gonna get messed up from the rim being warped.
What do u guys think,,,do u agree with me that the rim is warped and that it will affect his car later down the road??

the wheel could just be unbalanced and that is why it vibrates like a sex toy in your hand

yah, it will pooch his wheel bearing (i think they are 200 dollers a pop now) depending on the year of the car, and weather or not it is a hub and bering assy... It also cant be good for the axle, and ball joints...

the tire may be unbalanced or rim may be warped.... if you drive behind/beside him, can you visually verify that his rim is fuct... cuz if you can't odds are its not. when I was a lot younger in my Daytona I ate a curb pretty bad... the rim was folded in pretty bad, but it held air. I drove it like that for another few months. Then I banged the rim somewhat straight with a hammer and slapped it back on and sold the car.
