Yeah dude, we can't see the pics...

 

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.

 

yeah looks like crap but then what EXACT size tires were you using?

 

17s, why do you ask?

 

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.

 

Damn... that is a nasty break man..and you where doing like 50 when that happen? I always try and avoid potholes

 

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.

 

damn that sucks buddy....
