Tire/wheel nightmare

Let's see, I have been thru numerous tires and wheel issue

2 rear tires blew at the same time after hitting a flying metal bar.
tires would wear out every 2-3 months due to aligment and commercial places not being able to get it right(until I went to Darren at west end)
popped another tire due to road debris...bla,bla,bla.

Now, this weekend. I was driving down a well known street and knowing where the usual pot-hole is located, I tend to drive over it with the wheels running along side it..well I guess the pot hole decided to move and I hit dead on(actually there is a new one, next to the normal one I avoid) and the result is..bent and cracked rim with tire rash on the back( front looks unrepairable) so I am driving the car with my coupe 18s in the front and the 19 axis on the back till I can get replacement tires for the back 18s.

those are going on hopefully tomorrow..and they just may stay because of the amount of thread that will protect the wheels better.

I was considering getting them Black Chromed...just waiting for a friend to get back to me(wink wink Lawrence)

Ouch, sorry to hear this happened James. Your Coupe 18s in that black finish are a nice set of spare wheels to have, they looked good to me when I saw them this morning on the freeway.
