Guess paying a premium, doesn't mean you get premium quality. Luckily my local dealer will fix it right away. Still sucks for a 3 week old $9,000 set of rims.

ugh OP, i see youre running vredestein vortis too. i discovered my rear right rim was bent today too while my car was on the lift (morr wheels). gonna have to check all 3 other wheels now too.

i havent even hit many big potholes, but its the suspension (h&r sports with stock shocks) that are probably making the ride quality so stiff. plus the summer tires.

Pothole sucks.
Every wheel has it's weakness.
Warranty for sure- shipping prob sucks.

Don't think it was the shocks, tires or even wheels fault. Every wheel would have probably bent given the road circumstances.
Never had an issue with Vredestein tires in all these years.

I am running Bilstein B12 coil overs with Eibach springs btw so can't compare it to stock and H/R springs.

This was a long thread about bent wheels and had some useful insight from a mechanical engineer.

Long story short: Tire sidewall height and non-RFT is probably your best bet to combat wheel damage from a pothole.

Oh you got a nasty bent. Too bad because the rims are really nice.
