you must have a lot of patient to bear this for the whole year. Chicago hwys and suburban roads are going to **** too. Too many bumps and holes. Its the worst in downtown where they have the covers protuding out a good 4 inches off the ground and they are spread all over like land mines its gonna be a cold day in hell if i ever take my car down there. I just borrow my brothers beater or simply avoid it...

i see what you gues are talking about. the potholes here are a living hell. They fix roads that dont need to be fixed and dont fix the roads that need to be fixed. WTF is wrong with these idiots???

This year it's early, I found out the hard way. I'm going back to stock this weekend.

This is my "fixed" bent rim, it was worse....and this is the best that I could do:


The chrome is dispersed (Lowenharts are very soft, I figured for that kind of price they'll be real strong )

Wow Alexx, but its not that bad, check this out. Thats what happens when you hit a pothole that contains a sewer grate in it at about 65mph.




By the way that rim was fixed good as new. Cost about $300, but if you are interested in getting that taken care of, let me know.

Every time I get in the mood to spend some bux on rims I think about that dent stuff. Everyone in California owner Hummer, etc... because the roads suck.

That's why I avoid driving in the city like the plague!

Don't feel bad, I had my fenderwell trim ripped right off my car while I was driving in jersey. But it was already hanging so it was gonna fall off sooner or later. I just went and bought a new one at the dealer.

Damn Hyde, that must be one hell of a crater!:wow:
