yeah i've seen breaks of that type, mostly near the center by the lugs. you should go complain to the shitty about with their shitty roads did to your car.

i had some friends hit pot holes and got damaged. i told them to go take it up with the city and the city fixed everything right up!!

hopfully it might work out for you

HOLYshiz DUDE, man that BLOWS *****!!!! I had came across a railroad track going a little faster than i should have like three years ago and the track was sticking up atleast 3 or 4 inches and it BENT the **** outa my rim no tears but it was bent. I was lucky that a shop could bend it back so it would work until the new one came in. I feel for you bro good luck with the shitty fixing their shitty roads.

It wasnt even that big of a pothole either, thats the damnest thing about it. I just have no clue how it could have busted so bad, only going like 50, tires properly inflated and everything....

I've seen that happen to quite a few cheap wheels actually. Invest in something of better quality and you wont have to worry about things like that.

i know but what exact size like 205/45-17 ? or 40 series? cus sometimes breaking/bending wheels can be avoided by not using skinny and/or wrong sized tires.

I feel your pain. I got a set of Konig Reasons in a 17' size for my daily driver (mr2) and on the way home from the tire shop I bent 3 out of 4 wheels on the highway. On the freaking highway. Pottholes on the highway are so not bad. Isn't that sad.
