For all of those who go with 35 series tires, be careful when driving. I have bent one of my rims. My brother has already bent several rims. Just watch out for pot holes. 3 piece wheels are harder to fix then one piece wheels.

 

when your riding on such a small tire you should be very careful ... if you slow down this will help alot too

 

What kind of rims did you bend.

 

I bent one of my 19x8, 3 piece Lowenhart BR5s.

 

ouch

 

Yup I got 35 series tires on my 3 piece Racing Hart C5. I bent 2 of the rims already but had it fixed and bent back to shape. I'm going to go slower from now on.

 

i think this goes back to what a member was sayin a while ago...you shouldn't have problems w/bent rims as much if you get a tire that is made wider so it can protect the rim better...for instance you have a 7.5 inch rim, get a 235/35 tire...that way you will have that extra rubber and you dont have so much pressure on the outer lip of the rim...the 8.0 inch wide rim would be way safer on a 245, but we cant run that...it all comes down to driving style anyways...why dont you post pix of your ride jefro...Shyne

 

The only pics of my car are at racingzoneautohouse.com. It's the silver CL type s sittin on Lowenhart BR5s. It's in the gallery under Acuras. Check it out. I'll take more pictutes when I get my rims back on. One of the rims is getting straigtened. They said it would take 6 weeks because they have to send it out to ger rechromed.

 

man .. I feel your pain and I'm not exactly criticizing you and the others who do it but .. personally, I think it defeats the purpose of having really nice wheels if I can't drive fast with it

 

jefro, man your CL is off tha hook man...ive seen you around racingzone...do you know Tosin, thats his TL on tha BSD's...i think that that's his audi TT also...damn those rims are hott...anyways, dont worry your rims will be fixed soon...good luck...Shyne

His car is featuted in an issue of Makes and Models.By the way I know a guy with an accord V6 who's got dubs. ya he's got 20"s on his accord. I think he probably had some fender work done.Ill have to ask him. Yo which car is yours. I saw a bunch of cars that you posted. They are all off the heezy. got to give you much props.
