I went with 18" wheels cause of the crappy reoads here. I drive very carefylly and get honket-at due to switching lanes to avoid imperfections in the road. took it for re-balancing and the front wheels were bent. I am so fuqing sick of the bad roads here. It will cost $150 per wheel to get it fixed. Any suggestions? Should I just buy new ones for $185?? I know for sure I have not hit any pot holes, but roads here have those hard little bumps across the ehole lane. And the fuqs don't come out and shave them. Also there had been a lot of road construction. And going from a lower to a higher road carpet is very common. Can that also cause the wheels to bend? I want to fuqing sue the department

 

$60 difference for brand new versus somehow fixing bent aluminum? I vote new wheels.

 

I know how you feel. I live in NY and little bumps are common. My recommendation is get better shocks/springs and stick with 18"s. You might want to plus size the tire so that there is more meat on the sides.

I'm still riding on stock 03 titanium rims but will move towards 18"s as well. JIC suspensions is what I just bought.

 

so a better suspension may help?? i have been thinking of getting jic's..

 

I know several people with Miglia's infamous "soft" wheels.. it seems to be a little trend for them to bend
