So if your VOLK is bent, im going to have to settle for the fact that my shaking is probably from a bent ENKEI :wtc:

Hey Skelly, nice to see you too! I've found a few listings for the wheels, but no one will sell me just 1 lol. Not looking too good right now...

Well I'm not 100% sure that the shaking is from the bent wheel...riding over potholes probably does unhealthy things to the suspension joints/bearings/linkages/etc. I could have also improperly torqued the lugnuts, screwed up the tire pressures, etc. But either way, in my case you can clearly see the outer rim of the wheel being bent...not sure if that's the case with your Enkei's.

Hrmm..need to get in the habit of refreshing before posting...I remember the Integra forum being slightly slower than this...

Anyways, www.group5motorsports.com sells single rims. Is it too bad of a bend to just get it repaired?
I'm pretty sure it was one of those encounters where the impact sent my head hitting the roof. Probably should have been more careful late at night, but didn't expect a pot hole to cause problems as long as I was driving the speed limit. I guess I'm not used to driving in the East Coast...
