Well since we're on the topic of wheels, where can i get touch-up paint for my oem monte carlo rims? there are some very small suface scratches on the lip and i don't think they should have to be totally redone for this.
Can you all give a little help
Thanks in advance

either that or your rotors are warped.

It can also be bent wheels. But that comes up when they try and balance. I had almost a pound on one wheel because of a bend. :(

Don't know if this is off topic by now or not, but I had a rim repaired by AWR about a year and a half ago. They did a very, very good job. You could not even see where they repaired it!

Hub would have to be bent too to cause wobble, although warped rotors can make some terrible brake noises.

my car sometimes feels like it pulls a little to the right but that is only with my steelies on not with my summers. the only place i have been on is deerfoot and it is all rutted anyways so who knows? am going to get them re balanced when they come off

I just love that you can find VW how-to's all over the internet.
