    So my front passenger side wheel has been getting low on air constantly so I decided to take it off to see what the deal was. I looked at the inside of the rim and along the beading there is a flat spot and a crack in the rim! The only thing I can think of is I ran over a pot hole, and being that it's cold out, the wheel must have been more vulnerable or somethin. Anyway, had to buy a single wheel off ebay for like $110 or somethin cause I couldn't find a silver torque star for the life of me.

    Damn Illinois roads...

    well, no real threat of potholes here but I avoid any type of depression if I can evn man holes. The man hole thing comes from where I grew up and lived (south america) many manhole covers were missing either due to people stealing them for the metal or for being improperly installed and the whole thing falling into the sewer, let me tell u hitting one of them holes is more than a bent rim ;-). anyway all manhole covers are in place here but I still avoid out of habit

    I agree with this completely... for obvious reasons LMAO

    i find that most of the "man hole" sewage caps tend to be concreted in place in Southern Ok... not sure why... dumb rednecks i guess... o well less to have to avoid

    But as bad as potholes are, what really chaps my hide is F*n train tracks.... ive had several lowered cars and the stiff suspension, even in my GTP's stock suspension, sux going over tracks
