Pothole Damage
My front right wheel met its maker last night when I hit one of multiple potholes spread across the entire road in North Haven CT. Just wanted to share the damage with you guys. Vibrations when breaking and at low speeds but not loosing/leaking any air. Apologies for the iPhone pics.

That is my worst fear especially because my rims are no longer in production and I love how they look.
Luckily that is a bend and it can be remedied pretty easily. The roads here in NJ and Philadelphia are like battle zones after this winter - I drive slow and am always ducking/braking for potholes.

Ouch. That bend does look like it could be pulled out, but you most likely would need to refinish the wheel after the fact.
