i fuked up, i know i did, all i was lookin for was maybe someone who has some answers. It doesnt affect the performance of the car at all, the wheel is just at an odd angle that it wasnt at before. My dad's truck and mercedes have the same problems, but he doesnt know what the problem IS. If the car is performing ok, then why in the world is the wheel bent? i dunno if I bent it from running into the curb @ 5mph, im just wondering if anyone knows from experience...
