Suffered my second bent rim today. Also tore a whole in the tire big enough to stick my thumb threw. On the drivers front rim and tire. Right after I got in my car after car pooling from work. And didn't get a mile down 97 from his house and this crap happens. All thanks to a F**king pot hole right in the middle of an intersection!!!
Although I have been lucky so far that any previous tire problems have been close to home and haven't had to deal with idiotic traffic or that PITA scissor jack while your trying to change a tire. This is my first and it just had to be in winter too! So I swapped on a couple of my 17"s, so I hope it doesn't snow any more!
I'm Cursed!

that sucks dude. i hit a broken off sign that was in the middle of 394. i put a 1/2in hole in my oz rim. Bent rims are not fun at all.
It just bent the outer lip in one spot so I think It can be fixed. Just sucks that it also slit the sidewall of the tire 2"s. Second bent rim with in a year. At least it was a stock rim this time. Any one know how I can contact the forest lake or a highway department to report this monster pot hole? And maybe get them to pay for the damage?
