Fab1 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Hit a nice big pot hole on the freeway doing 110km tonight and put a "slight" dent in my rim. Looks like I won't be fixing this and will be visiting the wreckers in the morning along with checking the rest of the suspension for damage. I reckon if it had been an alloy rim it would of split in two and I wouldn't be writing this. Be careful out there after all this rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk That was my exact thought when I hit it. Ouch! ... and the tyre survived that? Cheers Jim The tyre didn't blow out luckily but it is slowly leaking through the bead that was broken.Internally it will be a different story and it is now scraped rim and all and a new wheel&rim in it's place.I thought I ripped the front end off it made such a loud bang.
