trd wheels

I am having a problem with trd wheels on my solara se. The car started to vibrate at 60 mph and I took it to the dealer. They said they couldnt balance the tires because the rims appeared to be bent. They said I needed new tires and one rim. I have the original rims that came with the car. Can I put these on in the meantime? The trd rims are 225/45 and the original rims are 205/16. Hoping to hear from someone soon.

Of course you can put them on... It's around the same size, just like the spare tire!

Oh damn 225/45 and bent your rim already... :cry:

I think the cost to fix a rim is about 100 -150 US... that's better than buying a new Revo.

The stock tires will work fine. Is the rim visibly damaged? Take it for a second opinion before you invest in a new rim. More often then not if you bend your rim you also blow out the tire

i ran into the same problem. but my rims were brand new. took em to the dealer and found out that not one but 2 of the rims came from the factory bent. anyone else have this problem? my first clue was all the weight tape on the two bent rims

Try hubrings first. If that doesn't solve the vibration...then its your rims.

I had the same problem when I put new tires on my TRD rims. Pennsylvania roads certainly are havoc on anything less than 55 series. There is a place in Bath, PA called Wheel Collision Center www.wheelcollision.com that repaired mine for around $130. I didn't have it refinished but it came out quite straight. There aren't too many places that do this to alloy rims so make sure you have it done right.
