I hit a pothole :/ - Toyota Yaris Forums

JBougie · 10-28-2009, 09:59 PM

I just have bad luck with wheels in general. Last year I hit a pothole with the stock wheels and it bent the rim on that one, I found a new steelie on ebay for $25 though so I jumped on that - but then later that winter I slide into a curb because I hit a patch of black ice ... and guess what? Bent the rim! That one was repairable, thankfully.

I think I am just destined to have messed up wheels :) I am going to buy another wheel, but get this one replaced eventually so that I have a spare 17" just in case (which I know it will) it happens again.

I'm glad I'm not the only that potholes strike lol Seems like all across the US we have crap roads. Well, except for Camelll :)

don't be offended when i say this but.

maybe you should watch where you're going a little better ;) or slow down when you're in overly bumpy roads.

It was night time and there is 1 single light on that highway on-ramp, at the very top of the on-ramp - I couldn't see it, as the pothole was at the verrry bottom of the ramp

The road isn't bumpy at all, it was the on-ramp to get onto the freeway.

So, since it wasn't that scenario - no offense taken
