I think thats the point. They'll be fixable with a blow that wouldn't be on a cast wheel.

Default Re: don't have a picture on me, but it was frickin HUGE, THIS IS totally unaccetable damit, j/k

point is they are pretty damn strong for 14lb wheels and they're real purty IMHO, PS was this a nyc pothole??

It was there all winter, but one day I forgot where I was and hit it going maybe 30mph. Totally my bad, and does not reflect badly on the strength of the wheel. My point was that they are strong, but not indestructible.

That's not a pothole, that's a small crater

Default I'm on my....nearly 6th week of SSR Comps on the street...

in MICHIGAN, land of POT HOLES... with 235/45-17 AVS Sports... and... I'm happy. I just spent an hour or so washing my baby, including the new wheels Saturday and they are still in showroom shape.
