I had a flat tire and drove home like 2 km's because it was way too cold to fix it in the cold wind. You guys think it damages the stock rims driving with a flat tire??

:roll: It more obvious if your tire is totally off the rim. Also depends on how low of a tire pressure your at. Hopefully not grinding. :(

Like the other guys said, shouldn't be hurt, if you didn't go over many bumps.

Was at Miky D's and didn't know i had a left tire was blown; a fellow asian guy in an IS300 leavin' told me.
Must've blown when i got there......
But it fixed now, tire was still on, but a good size hole from somethin' caused it, didn't even hear a lod pop or anythin'.

I got new tires on and everything seems to be ok... Didn't hear any weird sounds while driving with the new ones.. and acceleration seems to be the same as before. Oh, and when i drove home with the flat tire, it was still on the rims.. So the rims were not grinding on the road or anything (thank god). Thanks guys for your input, I was a little worried there for a bit.

i bent my celica wheels when my tire blew out i was travelling 90mph, and all i did was coast to a side-shoulder. So it all depends on your roads and how your flat occured and how it (if any) affected the wheel. I just kept my bent rim in the rear and was good for two+ years.

I tried driving home with a flat in my civic. The tire started smoking after about a mile. I had to use school books as a jack lift. It was during my "less weight = faster" stage and had the trunk gutted. I quickly learned my lesson and kept my spare, jack, and everything else in the car from there on...heh
