The rim plays a vital role in the vehicle’s movement. They make the frame of the car look sturdy while providing amazing grip and a well mounted solid base to tires.

Further, the two primary components of a car wheel are rugged tires and a fixed rim. The above components must initially function smoothly for the vehicle to work correctly.

Yet, in rare circumstances, some causes of rim imbalance can result in harm. So, in this blog, we will discuss the warning signs of your Dodge Charger rims.

1.  Damaged

When your Dodge Charger rims are damaged, they can be easily visible through your naked eye. However, if the damage is in the place where you can’t see, such as a bolt hole, then a specialized tool may be used to detect it.External environmental factors, such as when driving through steep roads, potholes, and bad roads, make you feel like the car is out of balance and wobbly. That is the exact time when you can get an idea that your rim has been bent. The rims can become damaged for a variety of reasons, including collisions, extended driving on unpaved roads, etc. 

With the naked eye, you can immediately identify the locations of rim damage. In rare instances, experts would occasionally rotate the tire while performing maintenance to covertly identify a bent rim issue.

2.  Steering wheel vibrations

Another frequent issue that frequently happens when tire treads are compromised is vibration. You will feel vibrations affecting the steering wheel and the seat because the contact area between the wheel and the road is uneven when the rim is damaged.

While there are many other potential causes of shaking, it is dangerous if the wheels are the culprit, especially in high-speed traffic. Take the car to the shop for repairs as soon as possible to ensure safety.

3.  Feel like you’re driving on flat tires.

You’ll feel uncomfortable moving because the tires need to be repaired more quickly, and the rim is too seriously damaged. The most common occurrence you will feel when your Dodge Charger rims are damaged is shaking while sitting. Here are some signs that will help you to know that your tires are flat:

• Non-stop shaking
• Make knocking sounds when moving.
• Consume a lot of fuel and oil.
• TPMS notifications appear frequently.

4.  Poor brake

If you need to check the condition of your brake pads, you can use the trick to stop it suddenly. A damaged brake pad may not directly affect the related problems, but it can be dangerous when you stop in the case of a damaged rim. You can feel that your vehicle will pull itself to one side when you use the brake to stop the car.
