There Nexo m-20’s… They were cheap dude, I was more concerned about them looking cool then actually being made well. it was 6 years ago. I bought them on a inpulse. But they have lasted well. I drive the car hard, and They have taken The shitty streets of both Albany, Brooklyn and manhattan, With ease, Untill recently. so they cant be to bad. ---

I have mounted/balanced wheels that had a BEND in the lip you can see from 10 feet away, and they still balanced out perfectly fine. > > Get a new tire. When they dismount the wheel/tire in the pic, have them spin the wheel on the machine without a tire. and see what the read out is. if its within about 20 grams or so… you are good to go. Just run it. you know you can balance a square right? doesn’t mean it wont have more noise or a lumpy ride. a bent lip isn’t too bad, but sometimes bent wheels get misdiagnosed because they are in balance/got balanced with the bend. with that said, i say change the tire and run it, it doesn’t look too bad. ---
