I have enkei RPO1s at 16 inchs.. and I live in Jersey too. Save for an incident in Philly where I whacked a kerb REALLY well.. I have never bent a rim. Even then, all I did was bend the lip up... and no, I do not avoid the bumps like a lowrider does.

what it boils down to.. get quality rims.

I bent a set of 17" Fast co. rims with my car....They found a small hairline crack in one of them and fixed it as best they could...I'll tell you though, after you bend a set of rims pretty badly, it's never going to ride the same after being straightened. Mind you I smashed the pothole at like 60kph and my heart skipped a beat. mad.gif They were f****d
