Re: Busted my rims last night...
That sucks man! But dont feel to bad i bent two of my Fikse wheels a few months ago. I was cruising on I85 south of Richmond late at night on my way home and WAMMMO! I stopped and luckily i didnt blow a tire but when i got home we realized both passenger wheels were bent. I just sent them back to Fikse to get fixed and its going to cost $600 bucks! DAMN BROKE ASS VDOT!
I didnt realize it was so easy to bend a 2 peice FORGED wheel!
Sorry if i jacked your thread!

Re: Busted my rims last night...
looks more like you ran over something that went though your tire and your wheel... but something with that much force i dunno...
looks like the hole comes up out of the wheel... like a mound not an indent... heres my take:
You had a nail or something in your tire (look pretty low profile to me) that was just barely hitting the wheel... every time it went around it was being smashed into the rim as the tire compressed... eventually breaking down the aluminum and smashing through.
other then that, beats me.
