i bent my rim but its still driveable and not shaking at all,but if i choose to buy a rim,should i go with a +98 or are the rims all the same size on all kats?

I think this should cover the fitment questions.
And yes, you should either replace it, or have it straightened. There are some companies that specialize in straightening, I don't know of any, but I know they exist. -
I was run off the road in my Jetta and it screwed my rim bad. The guy at the shop told me to get a new rim because straightening it out wasn't a viable option. Maybe it was THAT screwed up or something about car wheelsOriginally posted by thetable View Post
If it were me I'd get a new one.

I don't know a company that straightens rims, but I DO know a company that recycles aluminum

Kansas Can around my parts...IMHO, don't even jack with straightening a rim. Get new and learn why it happened and DON"T DO IT AGAIN!!!Originally posted by arsenic View PostI don't know a company that straightens rims, but I DO know a company that recycles aluminumIt would't be any fun if it was easy! BUT, it does have to be this much fun!!Comment

How bent? Suzuki gives an a ok to anything under .08" My last rim was out .05" side to side and I did not notice it. My current rim is out of round by .02" and it's hard to even see it on the tire. It can be a long hard process to get a straight wheel of EBAY! Here's the worst one I got.

Did you bend the front or rear rim? I may be able to help you out. I have a set of rims from a '98-'03 katana 600 that I will be selling eventually. Sooner than later if you need 'em. Shipping wouldn't be too expensive and very quick since I live near Houston.1999 Black Katana GSX-600FComment

My kat had a bent rim when I got it. There is a place somewhere out east that will straighten the but cost would be over $200 with shipping. I bought a rim off eBay for $50 and it was perfectly straightComment
