POTHOLE!! Argh.
 

Hit a pretty nasty pothole today. Had to throw the winter wheels back on. Going to get a new one but the ASA AR2s are backordered until June 28th.

That was a nasty hole.

wow, thats, yea... pictures say a thousand words.. f words... haha, im so careful now that im lowered

RE: POTHOLE!! Argh.
 

Ryan's not lowered....YET. But anything 17" and bigger are much easier the damage. Some wheel places will sell you a warrenty for such occasions.

what speed and how deep? This is one of the worst i've seen. Did the tire blow out?

RE: POTHOLE!! Argh.
 

Ouch! At least it was only the wheel that got damaged.

tire looks like its still holding air fine

RE: POTHOLE!! Argh.
 

Holy crub batman. A good wheel shop MIGHT be able to take out that bend. Don't try and bend it yourself though whatever you do.

BTW ryan, what's the ET and width of your wheels? I saw you used 20mm and 25mm spacers, I just ordered a set of 15's and 20's for 8.5" wheels ET35, kinda wonderign what the stance will be like (should be flush/little poke in rear).

Going 35mph and the hole was pretty deep. It was wide too so there wasn't a chance I was going to be able to swerve and miss it. I was following a huge SUV and didn't see it coming. Oh well.

The wheel held air until I backed it down the driveway into the street to swap the winter wheels back on. I'm amazed it lasted until I got home.

The ASA AR2s are 18x8 w/ 35 offset. 20 and 25 put them exactly flush.
