Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

It appears that a PO may have hit a pot hole real hard on the passenger side of my 2001 986S.
Since I've had the car, approaching 75mph results in a shake until moving up to a higher speed. When I put new tires on, the installer identified that these two wheels are a bit out of round and needed to be balanced a bit special.
Question: is there good results with having a wheel guy true a turbo twist wheel or is it a 'good money after bad' situation?
Thanks!
The good wheel repair places will tell you if a wheel is bent or damaged beyond repair. I wrecked one of my front Lt. Alloy Carrera 18 inch wheels at VIR and it was beyond repair. I bought a used one from eBay that needed refinishing as well as truing. It was trued and refinished and is holding up well. It came out looking so good I had the other 3 wheels trued and refinished too. My car rides the smoothest it has ever been since I bought it in 2003. You should definitely find a good wheel repair shop and have it looked at. Some of the tire shops have relationships with good wheel repair facilities and may be able to help you find one.
I had a slightly bent front wheel too. I checked the local wheel straightening companies and they all wanted $125 or more to fix the bent wheel. I contacted Woody here on the forum and he sold and shipped me a good replacement wheel for a much better price! Drop him a PM.
Yeah, that's the strange thing - they don't appear damaged, just what the tire center found when balancing new tires. I brought the car up from Indiana and those roads are not great, so it makes sense (about potholes)
Thanks!
Always best to observe unknown wheels spinning on a wheel balancer without tires to see how out of balance the wheel is. This way you know if it's the wheel or the tire that needs attention.
I've bent 4 wheels from going off track at high speed and had them all repaired. Sometimes the damage was visible and sometimes it wasn't (the wheel would always seem out of balance).
Find a high quality wheel repair service and they can certainly do the job.
This link has photos and even a video. Oh, and I cracked the oil pan too. That was a BIG hole.
