Got a front off ebay-it arrived today. The back isn't too badly bent and no vibration so i'm gonna stick w/it. I was leaned over and hit a sharp ridge in the pavement at night, it bent the front right really bad , the rear not so much. When leaned the force is transmitted from the sidewall to the rim w/no cush+bent:( Massive shake for about 3 reps then ok.

Just a hard headshake, the damper shut it down as it should. No vibes on the way home. Ran up to 140 w/no probs. The wheel lip is bent/flattened thru about 4" or so. Pulled away from the bead so I found another rim. Gotta new set of Bridgestones on the way.
