Damaged rim

[hayagix]

Well, the wife strikes again. Scraped the right front wheel last year. Now she hit a pothole with the same wheel and bent the rim resulting in no air in tire. Hopefully the rim is repairable or I'll be shelling out big bucks to kia canada.

The good news is that road side tire changes are relatively easy on this car. I could have done without the voracious mosquitoes. The compact spare did an admiral job getting her home albeit at 80 kph or so for 150 kms.

Several cars stopped and offered help but that's Canadians for ya ....eh.

My wife knows that I will say yes anytime she wants to get behind the wheel. But she also knows that I don't like that. And she respects my feelings; she's only got c. an hour and a bit on the Stinger, spread over three or four separate occasions, the last one almost two years ago. Other than my sales guy driving my car to me (after driving one of theirs as a trade), nobody else has even sat behind the wheel except to bring my car out after servicing.

(And as Cowboy says, I can do all the damage by myself; I don't need my wife's or anyone else's help: I'd much rather be mad at myself than my wife or anyone else.)

Is it on the inside? I've had both my front rims fixed after being bent.

The stock PS4 on the staggered 19s in the front are great for grip but just aren't realistic in Canada with our roads. I'll be moving to a wider and thicker sidewall tire once these are toast.

Yes, it is on the inside. Hopefully someone around here can fix it. I replaced the stock tires with all season Michelins last fall.
