16.5 Wheels, Bent need replacements
HI,
The rim's on my 82 e-350 are slightly bent. Found this out when I purchased 6 new tires. The rims previously had about the same amount of weights so it isn't the new tires or the balancer (I watched and they did a good job).
The tires are 16.5 by 8.75, the rims are 8 lug for a dually. I know these are old school rim's but does anyone know where I could buy a few (2 to replace the worst rims?).
Don't want to upgrade at this point as I've got 700$ worth of tires now.
What might have caused these rims to bend they are steel, and on a motorhome. It's not like someone was playing dukes of hazard with it.
Thanks...
Dave
