On two separate occasions while travelling at low speeds a wheel bent and my tire deflated while driving my 2000 eclipse gt. On both occasions I lost control of the vehicle; it eventually skidded to a halt both times. (tiresize: 250/50/17)( DOT number: tire size: 250/50/17 )
Easily bent rims on the 2000 mitsubishi eclipse gt, all my 4 rims have some sore of damage with a normal driving habits, my car shakes and feels unsafe above 60MPH.
