This really bites....did it again....the last pot hole was a really hard hit....but this one wasn't very hard at at....bent the rim and pinched the tire again. Glad I got the road hazzard coverage. Alex helped me out some with the wheel this time...THANKS ALEX!

I'm a bit worried about how many more times this might happen before spring comes...

I guess I shoulda waited until spring and stayed with the stock tires and wheels...

Well now I've spent enough money to by steel wheels and some blizzacks....but don't have em ARRRGGGG Shitski

Was it the same pothole?

Dude, I think you need to have the aligment checked too.

What size are you running? You might want to stick to 15's and 16's in your
area. imho, the mini looks best in 16 especially if running stock brake rotors. :smile:

Because of the potholes here in Maine in the spring, I asked Santa for a stainless steel skid plate. Heard it hit hard last week and was glad for the protection!
