What type of Rim can I buy for cheap for my Volvo?

One of my tire rims cracked and broke off when I hit the curb in the winter. I have a spare tire on now, but need to buy a tire rim (my tire size is 195/60R15). I noticed that the current rim has a spot for a pin to go in, not just 5 spots for the lug nuts but a little place for a pin that makes the tire fit on the car only 1 way.

SOURCE: I have a stuck lug nut through the rim.

try heating up the bolt with a mapp gas torch and using an air gun to remove it otherwise you may have to take it to your local tire shop and spend roughly $30 on having it removed. to install (once the old one is out) just push it in by hand put your new lug nut on and crank down on it till it reaches the end good luck!

Rim will not come off

put 1 lug nut on a few turns do not comletely tighten and hit tire on inside with a mini sledge hammer do not hit rim, if you have aluminum rims this happens because of the oxidation and gets stuck on the brake rotor

Tire sensor fault light always on- Ford Explorer 2006. How do resolve the issue? Parking assist stopped working. Cannot find it on the dashboard setting. How do I also resolve this?-

check to see if one of (or more) the rims is bent,go to a tire place they will check it for cheap,if there is a bent rim they might be able to bang it out,or you might have to buy a new rim! have you driven over any potholes lately? or hit a curb?

Hit the curb on that snow day pretty hard that it bent the rim and chipped some of the hub cap what should I do

Hi,
If the rim is bent severely, it could cause wear on your tire. If you are unsure of the severity, you might take the vehicle to a tire shop and have the wheel checked on a rotating balance type machine.
Worse case scenario, replace the rim (I'd get one from a wrecking yard). If the hub cap asthetics bother you, the salvage yard may also have one of those.
Hope this helps... Good luck!

Has a slight wobble at low speed?

you need to jack it up and spin 1 tire at a time, use a run out guage on the tires and wheels.a high speed 60 to 65 mph is from wheel balance. low speed is a bent wheel or a bad tire. belt separation
