Hi all

I'm having a slew of bad luck .

3 months back I made my biggest purchase of my adult life so far.

A 2011 kia forte ! I was happy


2 weeks of ownership later i I had to change 4 tires since they're cracked.


2 weeks after i changed my tires , i popped one the tires ( the lorry in front of me dropped something hard on the ground )


and today

I hit a pothole and my other wheel has popped. I mean ...Jeez


and this time according to the mechanic , the rim was damaged as well .


We checked the spare ... and it was damaged also . So tough luck for me.


Anyways since it'll take time for my rims to be found , ill have to use a cracked rim atm.


Sooo is it safe? I can barely feel anything when im driving , and is there anything i should be aware of? other than just drive slower haha

change to cheap but ori or second hand rim at tyre shop . crack rim dangerous as can blow the tyre

cracked rim can also leak air.. so better get it changed asap.
go f&f and see if anyone want to sell their ori rim

that is not a big issue. just change after market rims. easier than u get back the ori rim. I think u better change car. either this car is damn bad luck for you or your skill suck can pothhole till crack rim and blow tyre

Yeap am getting some second hand rims asap !

Haha , pretty sure it's a combination of both.

Just settle for used steel rims of equal size until u found the replacement. Don't drive with cracked rim as air will leak out and if bad luck, accident.

cracked rims or bent rims ?

Having been in situation where finance is tight, I totally understand the need to stretch it a bit further.

Of course change to new or even 2nd hand rims is the safer choice.

But depends on how big is the damage, and where is it located.

It's by the side of the rim, i find it to be rather minor actually but the foreman said it's best to change

No one repair rim anymore these days? I remember it cost about rm50 to repair a rim. It was many years back though.

repair take time and nowday car have small spare tyre, so either change new or buy steel rim for temporary

Its time TS learn to drive with care , wat ever rims you have, it will be crack again if you drive like a bull.

Learn to respect the road & dun abuse them, else we will greet you RIP, take care !!!
