Dropped....finally. (many, many boring pictures)

Hey everybody, i was wondering how many other people have seen bent rims like this. Do you think air pressure has anything to do with it or is it just a common problem with bigger rims? I run about 40 psi now on 17"s. Would hate to have to replace a rim just from hitting a pothole...

oh yea, the drop looks perfect. those rims go great with the red. nice...very nice

what is your side wall? I would suggested running the correct tire pressure, that sounds high

the less side wall you have the lest cushion you have, hence the larger the wheel the less side wall you have room for

My tires are 215/40ZR17's and the recommended pressure is 35. I'll take it down to that pressure to see how it feels. Just don't want to dent the rims. How common is this? Think I should be worried?

any rim can be bent slamming into a pothole, you are more likely to bend a rim when you are running a lower side wall, way more likely

dodge potholes

don't run you tire pressure to high, it is dangerous

keep pressure between 30-35
