Although the guys are very nice....i was surprised when he said "i guess its badluck, twice"

....less-supported Inner part of the rim. The rest of the wheel was fine, and looked normal until you looked past the spokes, into the inner rim profile.

i really dont understand :P

I dont understand how taking a turn hard unless driving over a center median would cause this?

That's news to me, but I'll keep it in mind. Thx.

It wouldn't take much to bend a wheel if they are way over inflated. There's hardly any sidewall on 19's with 35's!

edit: prob around 38. i fill to 40.

I really can't comment because I have stock wheels/tires. I think the recommended psi(cold) on the door panel for normal load is 36F/34R. Of course, your wheels and tires are different. But, I'm thinking all the more to beware of over inflating. Like I said, you have very little sidewall to absorb impacts in the first place.

At this point, it's all just a guess anyway. Maybe they just had some bad wheels that got out there. Who knows?

Inner, unsupported Rim Section on the Right of picture:

Outer Rim section is most supported by the Spokes/Face of the wheel on ours.

NOW, does it make sense?
