I always see people who have rims with bent lips, bent on the inside, cracks, ect.

how hard do you actually have to hit something to do that kind of damage? because i've had a few sets of rims with some pretty low profile tires and i've hit a few potholes but i've never damaged a rim

how the hell do i always see rims bent so bad at the lip and they just say they hit a pothole :???:

the reason i ask is because the guy who bought my civic came up to my work saturday with a donut and the rim was in the trunk with a big ass crack and bent lip and i was ROUGH on those rims and never did that kind of damage

I bent a rim when I hit a pothole. It was about a 2/3 foot deep. I was going a little too fast and I couldn't dodge it or I would have slammed into the car next to me. So i Slammed on the brakes. Thinking back to it, I should have kept going the same speed, Maybe I would have just flown over it.

Its because some people don't pay much attention to the road or they don't care if they hit the pothole. If you never avoid bad spots in the road, its just going to gradually weaken the wheel and its going to break eventually.

It's real easy to bend a wheel if you hit a pothole or curb. if it wasn't I would be in the unemployment line.

The only scratches I have on my rims are on the right front, i hit a little pot hole but it happened to be the outer edge so it caught the lip. Pissed me off, it's not too noticable but it could have been a lot worse.
