Riding ghetto now... Thx NY pothole, tire bubble, and My first brake job
First I would like to thank the lovely state of NY for the pothole that caused this to happen. But if it wasn't for the pothole and the bubble, I may have waited to change my breaks and then I would have had bigger problems.
The Bubble and the Bent Rim
Well, the good that came out of it was that I completed my first ever brake change. Thanks to AZINE and the GARAGE I was able to complete the change in 30 minutes or so. Here is a comparison of one of the "better" pads that I took off and a new Rotora H2 Ceramic pad that I put on. If I showed you the worst pad I would have gotten completely flamed
End result... Rolling ghetto style with stock fronts and a-spec rears...
4 new tires will be delivered by 04/15. $732 I wasn't looking to spend...
A big thanks for those of you who strongly recommended for me to get the bubbled tire off and get some new tires for my car.

Ouch dude that sucks 
I had a bubble in a tire on my 01 CL-S a few years back. I contacted the tire manufacturer since I had just bought them the week before and they replaced it for free.

At least you see the good in things, because it looks like you were probably due for that brake change
