I say BS on the video. My 2005 hit a pothole at about 50 mph and bent two wheels to shit. That front wheel in the video looks good to me.

Yes, obviously, you're an expert in vehicle crash dynamics, and the fact that one controlled test with a particular impact does not match up with your anecdotal evidence of an entirely different kind of collision certainly invalidates that video.

Because your wheel took the brunt of the impact. Not the case in that video. As the last poster stated, two different kinds of impacts.

You're comparing apples to oranges.

And how many of us don't try to drive around the potential impact?


My God... a bunch of twisted rubber bands on this board.


Be cool, just having some fun at dropping over $1000 on my stupid driving mistake.

Sorry. Sometimes the sarcasm doesn't come through over the intraweb.
