Wheel/Tire Trouble?

I just got back from the dealership, where I tried to get them to rotate my tires. They said that they couldn't rotate them cuz my right wheels are bent??? I did drive my right rear wheel across a curb/scratching it when I just got the car, but that's about it. What do I do if they really are bent? Or is the dealership lying to me? The service manager told me to go to a tire shop, see what they could do.

Mistryl...you would have had to hit the right side damn hard to bend(?) the wheels!! Trust me you would remember this incident. Anybody else drive your car? I would take it to a independent tire shop for a professional opinion.

Good luck.

Yep I agree, if you bent the rim it would have been something you would remember. Irish8 gives good advice on this one, take it to another shop for a professional opinion, if they do not see the rim being bent, take that shops report back to the dealer and if it were me I would be chewin out someone big time. Good luck on getting this resolved.
