| I'm having to buy a new wheel for one of my 2001 Honda Odyssey tires because they haven't been able to rotate my tires for awhile.
Why can't you rotate a tire with a bent wheel? Are there any other reasons to replace a bent wheel, other than the rotating problem and maybe a little shimmying of the steering wheel? Thanks. |

| To keep the the tires wearing evenly. |

| If you want your tires to wear evenly you shouldn't be driving on a bent wheel. Also a bent wheel puts a lot of un-necessary stress and wear on the drive line and suspension and can cause damage. |

| Google >2001 Honda Odyssey wheel<. Lots of hits. 1st one had wheels ranging from $65 (steel) up to about $226 (alloy). http://www.wheelsrims.net/2001-honda-odyssey-inventory.html |

| Consult with your local salvage yard for used wheels. Two main considerations: 1, The wheel is true. 2. The lug nut holes are not worn out. The third item is leaky wheels. On rare occasion, a wheel is tossed because it leaks air. Cast wheels may have porosities and manufacturers pressure impregnate the wheels with a sealant. After mounting a used wheel, monitor the air pressure for several days to check for leakage. |
