BEWARE of the fast lane on the Grand Central going towards the Triboro Bridge. I hit the pothole and bent my wheel on my M5.

Got it, thanks for the heads up. Now, go take care of that wheel. The suspension could be in pain too!

Man, sorry to hear that. You're on Breytons right? I've read a few forum entries about them bending easily and it seems this is another one. Of course it depends on how big the pothole was as well.
