Attack of a MD pothole!

Johnnohoff · 07-10-2014, 01:32 PM

Hit a pot hole on the commute in this A.M.

I guess it's back to the stock wheels for a bit.

pikcachu · 07-10-2014, 01:34 PM

Rfts = bent rims

VMRWheels · 07-10-2014, 03:23 PM

Oooh definitely sorry to see that

RFTs + Potholes usually equals bad news. Let me know if I can help you with anything!

pikcachu · 07-10-2014, 03:54 PM

they should change the name to RFWTF lol

DanG · 07-10-2014, 04:03 PM

Looks like 19 inch rims and probably not run flats.

Johnnohoff · 07-10-2014, 04:14 PM

I still have a claim in process with the State of Maryland for a bent wheel and destroyed tire from a massive pothole when I had my 335. But, there are so many rules and very few scenarios in which they actually pay up that I don't expect to see a cent from them in the end.

DanG · 07-10-2014, 05:34 PM

You have to live in an area with extremely good streets to run 19s on any BMW. Doesn't work well in the Seattle area. Too many pot holes.

Seattle is pretty bad, eastside is significantly better. I can see 19s work on the eastside.

What rims are those?? Are there pics on the forum of the car, when clean, with those rims??

They look nice.

overcoil · 07-12-2014, 05:34 PM

Those are very nice wheels. Where did you get them?

BTW I ordered my 235 from Towson BMW, what county were you when you ran over the pot hole?
