Ditch the Viggen Rims

They are not worth repairing, not worth replacing cause the new ones will bend just as easily, and in a few more thousands miles you will once again be coughing up more dough for more repair or replacement.
I went to get my long-anticipated new Bridgestone S03's mounted and the Firestone guy says that 3 of my rims are bent, one is out of round by an entire 1". I had no idea and while I've hit a few potholes, nothing that I remember would have done this!
Check with your dealer as they've been offering some pretty killer deals on BBS wheels mounted with Michelins you don't want as they are grand touring. Resell the Michelins and you have yourself some VERY cheap BBS wheels that won't bend nearly as easily as the stock Viggen ones.
That's my $0.02, anyway,
John
