Man, that had to hurt.. Where exactly on the 5 did you come face to face with the pothole? Your best bet is to contact the city - county and hopefully they'll reimburse you for that. My friend smashed her wheel in Fountain Valley and they paid for the rim and tire. Good luck.
its my 2nd set of Vellano VSA, first set i curbed front and rear passenger side so i sent those out for a complete overhaul (Matte black lip & inner barrell, machine face, gloss black windows, red pinstripe). thats what i have on the 645 vert right now. I think its time to put them on the 650.
I have had similar experiences with my 25" rubber bands in the rear. They look good but they are not practical for daily use......one pot hole and you can kiss the wheel good bye.
Are you sure you didnt run over something else other than the pothole? Some road debris that fell off the back of a truck or those metal road construction covers?
Damn! I feel you pain man. That ride was looking so pretty with these new rims. This is why i try to keep wheels on that has more rubber. The higer the rim size the less rubber you get for protection. My 6 is still stock but I use to go through my rims almost every summer when I had my 540i with 20's on it. The roads sucks here man.
That pothole is way too big...I don't know why his front bumper wouldn't get damaged...that monster could suck in the whole front end of the car. Unless he just ran over the very side of it.........
oooook. I'll make sure to drive slow and change my style of driving! NOT :thumbdwn:
