Default Auggghhh!!!!

OK, I think i may have bent my wheel. Every time i let of the gas i hear a chunk chunk chunk sound and I feel it throught the whole car. Most of my friends seem to think my wheel is scraping against my brake caliper. I went off the road a bit right before it started happening but it didnt feel like I hit anything big. So has anyone else done this, and about how much would it be to fix? Im scared as hell driving it cuz Im afraid my wheel is just going to roll off the car. Right now I just have stock 93 SI wheels.

If you have a Discount Tire located near you, just take it there and they can check to see if your wheel is bent or not....

Ok i feel like a total idiot... I decided to try and see what the problem was, so as I was driving I leaned out the window to look at the wheel, and lo and behold it was just wobbling freely. I park, get out, and of course the lug nuts are on so loose I can move them with my fingers. I tighten that biatch up and no more chunk. And I just know if I had taken it somewhere they would have told me my axle was bent or something and charge me beauqeaux bucks.
