Thread: Can you easily tell when a wheel rim on your car is bent?

hit yet another big pothole today. I don't see anything, and I'm not sure if I ever had a problem doing this since the time a tire actually exploded. Do the rims usually bend a little without being able to see it?

You can normally see it. And if you can't feel it, you don't have to worry about it.
When I hit a pothole and blew the tire, I could see the bend on the rim right away.

Sometimes, sometimes not . Why do you ask? Are there problems looking for answers?
