    I finally got my bent rims replaced with used ones. FWIW I hit a SMALL hole on an offramp where the temporary (tar) road met the original cement road.

    All are cell phone pics so bear with the marginal quality.

    Big rims + small tires = bent rims, it's a wonderful part of life ain't it.

    Oh you know it bud.

    I said "oh you silly little pothole"

    Oh well...the two damaged wheels were sent off to be repaired and widened 1.5 inches. Just not when I wanted:)

    This is the funny part. I JUST installed my HID bulbs in my low beams and drove 9 miles to pick up my kids. I was thinking how awesome my vision was and how far I could see in the new blue light and ran over a TRANSITION in an off ramp...recent road work had asphalt going to cement. I drive the same ramp every single day. I was thrilled.

    FWIW Larry, My house is open for your family...we have more than enough room. Consider it a jumping point or stop-over or whatever you want. My kids would love some friends anyway:).

    Be in touch!
