I've hit a couple of decent sized potholes. The car drives fine though...

From my experience with Acura, their stock rims were made by enkei and are extremely easy to bend..

Anyone with experience with lexus rims?

I had to replace two of them with less than 1000 miles on my car.

No issues with mine, despite the potholes and rougher roads this winter has blessed us with.

Consider they are just cast wheels (most likely low pressure cast) they are not that durable.

I've had my F Sport since last summer and have driven all over the NY/NJ Metro area ....... ... BQE , LIE , Northern State , Southern State and of course the NJ Tpke.

I'm very cognizant when it comes to potholes and do try to avoid then as best as possible but there's been a handful of times when it was too late and Im just like " Ohhh ****** Me " and BAAAM ..................... thus far I'm been very lucky with no bent rims wheewwwww

Same here, so far I've had two occurrences where I hit some potholes and was too late to avoid them, hard ones too Luckily no bents/cracks yet, knock on wood...

I too experienced the same. I've driven through those routes as well and through some bad potholes where I thought I may have bent the rim but luckily not a scratch.

I've owned 3 integras with Enkei rims and they were strong as well. No bends cracks nothing over 10 years of ownership. But when I changed over to Konig rims, 2 rims got bent and 1 cracked.

In my experience, stock rims are pretty strong... its the aftermarket rims where you need to be careful about.

knock on wood i have been very forunate this past winter. Albeit i did hit a couple bad potholes and one in particular that threw off my alignment. my experience with the Fsport rims is that they seem to be very durable as i have no bends or cracks thank god. My only gripe has been that i have noticed little scratches and chips on the rims, i assume from loose gravel hitting the rim while moving. wish they had touchup paint for these rims. anyone have these too? but i think the rims are durable and built well.

When I bent mine the vibration wasn't really noticeable, but when I put it on a lift and spun the wheels you could definitely see the bends.
