1.5 Months ago I got new wheels for my car they were Maya Maido ex 2 with 20x10 rear and 20x9 front drove for 2 weeks and hit a POT HOLE bent the right front wheel was able to send it in for repair and use my stock rims 2 weeks late I got my wheel back put the 20s back on the car drove for 2 days and California rains came left my 2 month old car in the garage for 2 1/2 weeks until all the rain was gone and they had achance to repair the holes in the road I took it yesterday to work it was like a new car all over again, well on the way home from work late at night I must have hit the only POT HOLE left blew 2 tires and bent 2 wheels had to a flatbed tow truck get me home, this weekend I am going to put the stock on again and mat just wait for summer to try the 20s one more time. They look so good with the black center and chrome 3inch lips well thanks for listening.

OMG! Sorry to hear... These pot holes are like craters! I thought I broke my MINI last time I ran over one... it was inside a freeway underpass so it was dark enough for me not to see it and I ran straight over it and bottomed out sooooooooo loud i thought I must have broke somthing... I hope I didnt.. I still cant tell right now. wheels look ok... rims arnt bent... but dang it was a LOUD BOTTOM OUT noise... Running 17" 205/35/R17 Dunlop Runflats on my MINI if interested...

By chance might you have an address or phone number. Also how much was the repair charge?

Thanks for the info!
