1 day into ownership and hit a pothole on Rt. 80 in New Jersey. I am furious right now. The rim is headed to WCC in Pennsylvania to fix the damage. You have no clue how pissed I am. Tough break but I'll fix it.

Thanks for noticing.

Man I don't miss NYC/New Jersey. I have had rims on every vehicle I have owned so I know the feeling. Some rims hold up better than others. Best looking bent rim I have ever seen!

What made you pick a rim that did'nt take the TPMS? There are so many that take it.

100% style. I wanted a lip and a real high end wheel from Dazz Motorsports and this fit the bill. To be honest, I don't know for sure this doesn't take TPMS. I was basing off the RH CX that is confirmed not to. I am checking with the dealer to hear the truth. It was a vicious pothole @ 70 MPH. I didn't even notice until I took this pic. Very dissapointing to say the least but we'll see what WCC does for me. They are the best in the biz for this type of repair...

sorry to hear that Gil....i would have been devastated myself....i didnt even notice it in the pic until you posted it....
on another note....is the fender ok??? it does look a little strange in the pic....

Im thinking that the rims might take them....if they are like Axis rims they should as mine take them....and i havent had a problem with them since i put them on...the seem to actually work better than the stock if that makes any sense...lol...
hope all goes well with the rim...
please keep us posted...

Your tire held up well. I busted two tires once and cracked two rims hitting a pot hole at about 30MPH. I have had rims repaired a whees america and they have always done a great job so I would'nt worry about it. The TPMS is a nice safety feature for those who have rims. I had racing hart C5's and i loved those so much. The girl I sold my Maxima to is still rocking them.
