I always here on the forums its damn easy...but my wheel/tire contact has told me otherwise. Even though I've managed to bend 3 wheels now with my softer suspension. He said they'll crack easy...but should never bend and that my wheels were probably bent from factory.

Damn i must have super wheels then, i have 17" Motegi DP12's and ive hit countless potholes, big ones that bottom out the suspension and it bangs so hard you think the car will break, quite frankly im amazed the struts are still in 1 piece lol, the rims are perfectly fine too
