My PO gave me 4 snows mounted on steel rims. When I got them down yesterday to do the exchange, one was flat. PO had hit a curb and severly bent the outside of the rim. Dealer wants $90+- and I couldn't find one in a junk yard. So if the wheel is dead, I decided to get out my 1lb hammer and give it a whack. No air pressure in the tire. Then I got my 8lb sledge and banged on the part that the tire bead sits on and pounder the heck out of that too. It's almost straight, no cracks, and I put 36 lbs of air in it. Laid the wheel flat and poured water on the bad spot... no bubbles. I will check it in the morning, it it still has 36 lbs then it goes on the car with the other 3 winter tires.
Guy on Ebay is selling 4.
