Hi I recently got a flat tire while going about 50 MPH, and went to slow down, and swerved to the left a little bit, but eventually got the car to the side of the road. Where then I replaced the flat tire/rim with my spare I had in the trunk. But, while driving I rolled (drove) for about 10-20 yards to get to a good pull off spot. With an obvious flat, Would that of ruined my rim?



The rim is still circular in nature from looking at it from side to side, with that being said, how bad would the rim have to be bent to make it not possible to fit another tire on it. i have heard of stories where rims get too badly bent they can not be fitted with new tread. The flat tire is still on the rim, so i cannot visually inspect that part, but there seems to be no signs of a bent rim besides a little on the lip of the rim from before. But that was from some other obvious mistake before I bought them.

 

Go to wherever you are going to have the tire replaced, and have them look at the wheel.

 

As long as you didnt hit a pot hole or something of that nature with the flat tire you are probably good, otherwise take Stocker's advice.

 

Ok it turns out that it still remains in good cond.

Guys look'd at it/chopped it off
