Now on my 15th wheel

Just venting a bit

My car started with 4 stock wheels

Then I got a set of Centerlines....Replaced 1

Then I needed a second so I said screw it, and Centerline replaced two (which I in turn sold)

I bought the RH C4s

3 months ago I replaces one

Today I purchased another as a replacement

That makes a total of 15 wheels total that have been on the car, 16 if you count the spare...


This is the last time I buy aftermarket wheels (at least while living in PA)

Anyone else have similar issues? My friends think Im nuts, but I assure them that Im not alone....

The cobblestone roads are doing it, or just the normal potholes in Philly.

I wont go with aftermarket wheels because I dont want to replace them, nor do I feel I can justify the cost.

Try switching to 17" wheels. You have more rubber on them so they should hold up a little better. I know 18" and even 19" look better but those pot holes will kill them. Switching back to 17" wheels might just save you some money.

I agree, stay with 17's if you keep bending them. I have hit some MAJOR potholes with aftermarket cast 17's and havent bent any yet. I think 17's still look good as long as your car is lowered.
