Bent rim - Toyota Yaris Forums

Motzking1 · 02-06-2017, 12:11 PM

I have done the same thing. I have seen about a dozen at work that bad or worse. Half the time it seems just fine. The other half the wheel bearing starts humming eventualy. IDK what kind of bearing toyota uses but it's dam good. It will hum a bit for 30,000 mi is some cases before getting worse. They seem to be dam sturdy to these hits. Alignment is more often than not unaffected. The problem that does happen most often is the tire ends up with a slow leak. You bring it to get fixed the shop usually will not fix it without a rim. Basically the end result 80% of the time is you need a rim. Best to just bite the bullet and replace the rim, have the alignment checked. It's inexpensive, protects you from bigger future expenses. In the big picture of what the incident could have cost you got off easy!
