I have a vibration on my car but haven't ever experience a bent rim before but these wheels came with the vehicle from the previous owner and all have curb rash. I am trying to get an idea of what kind of vibration it would cause as this vibration starts at 55mph and will be with me to any speed past that but not become anymore severe or anything.

Perhaps I should be looking at the wheel bearings instead? Thanks guys!

In my experience a bent rim is noticeable usually through out the speed range getting more severe the faster you go. Warped rotors on the otherhand aren't usually noticeable until 45 MPH +

So even say at 10mph I would notice the vibration with a bent rim? The brakes were serviced before I got the vehicle with new rotors/pads etc... So i'd hope that those would be okay.
