Default Cries my poor T1s


Just found out today that both my front T1s got bent no wonder they have been making a weird vibration. Stay tuned for the new rims I ordered

That is the single biggest problem with low profile tires and the bigger the rim the worse it gets. Anything over 18" up here lasts maybe 6 mopnths unless you only drive on main highways. Hopefully the local rim shop can straighten them out, I know there are lots of places around here that now specialise in doing that.

Luckily the Works I ordered have step lips, but I was always under the impression Works were pretty strong.

Knock on wood...

I've got Work Gnosis GS2s. I've hit some deep potholes unexpectedly that rattled my car pretty good traveling at 40mph... My wheels stood up to it with no bends. They're wrapped in Hankooks ventus v12 275/35/20 and 245/35..

I'll knock on wood again..just one more time. My lips aren't stepped.

that and the fact that you guys purchase some REAL quality built wheels. It's pretty much one of those, "you get what you pay for" type things. I just absolutely love the rants and raves about how if you hit potholes @ 40mph in a set of Rota's, they withstand the same type of abuse as any high-dollar wheel
