Default ooohhhh, boy.......please read

well i had to take a ride today which entitled me to go down I-91 south and get onto 95. for anyone around here in CT, you know how bad it is. theyve been workin on the road and it is just all torn up. traveling in this area is just horrible, the middle lane is shut down, and you must choose a lane to go around. well today im going along carefully because there is big bumps and i dont want to mess up one of my 18 inch ATP Flash's. all of the sudden i see 8 to 10 bricks in the middle of the road, and im headed right for them. with some good maneuvering, i managed to get past the first batch, but the second didnt go so well, i got around most of them, but clipped one of the bricks with the inside of one of my drivers side wheels. now, when i drive along at 40, i can feel a slight wobble in the wheel, its not too bad but i can definately notice it, and it wasnt there before. do you think i bent one of the wheels slightly? i was thinking i may just be able to get the wheels balanced, but im not sure. tia

Default Hopefully, you knocked a wheel weight off.

Get your wheels balanced. If you bent a wheel, it will be very obvious to the mechanic while the wheel is on the spin balancer.
