I was on the way home the other night with family in the car and i hit a bloody pot hole....not happy : . I have changed all the rims back to the Xr8 rims now.
I hit he thing with both front and back drivers side wheels, the front 1 is fine and the rear smashed into 4 but the tyre has nothing wrong with it??? |

Bad news. At least the car is not damaged.
Where was the pothole so I can avoid it? What pressures are you running? |
