I am having HUGe problems with bending the wheels on my 1 month old 9. The first one I can understand because I slid on ice at about 20 mph and had the wheel completely turned to the left and the front wheel bend almost completely in half. Besides that the lower control arm bent and blew the wheel bearing. so about $2000 later including the $750 mitsu rim (not the MR rims) I got a new onw. Now a week later I actually curbed the car(not bad HONESTLY) and bent the crap put of that rim. THey told me that rim could not be straightened either. Are here any other members on this site that are having these probs. Heck... I owned and STi for 2 years and CPMPLETELY ragged the hell out of that car and NEVER EVER once did I bend a rim even running it off road. Mitsu says it is not their problem and basically tought ***t. OH yeah when I took the service tech for a ride in my car.. I have the ssl pkg on it. he is the only one that has ever sat in the back seat. there is a 4 inch perfect razor cut in the leather which they say tought ***T about too. More over I am just interested in finding out if people are bending their rims on the new 9's. If so maybe it is a defect in Mitsu manufacturing. Just sucks that I have had the car for a month and am having all of these probs. Other than that.... THIS CAR ROCKS. thanks guys. Scotty

i have a nine and havent' had any problems with mine yet..2800 miles and 2k of them hasn't been very friendly on the car lol...i had a A4 with 19's for 2 years so it's nearly impossible for me to curb a rim, you're talkin to mr. paranoid. You need make wider turns!!!

Cheers
