Message	My gf hit a pot hole that was about a foot by 8 inches and 4 inches deep the other day and bent one of her rims. We think the tire is bad too because she ran on it for a while. We're trying to find a replacement but the rim has quit being made. Big rims are cool but can be a pain in the ass in me and my gf's situation!
