Randog Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 have you bent a rim jumping yor car? If so what where the sercomstances can't spell ??????????? how heavy is your car? I don't necessarily JUMP my car. I do hit jumps, but I don't line up and launch em' Wish I could but the car really isn't a jumper. Anyways, I bent mine many times just dropping the front end off wheelies. Nothin' holdin' it from going over, so lettin' off the gas drops the front sometimes. My car weighs just under 1600 lbs. I should buy some spares to bring. The tubes are a must, Obviously. I wouldn't suggest these rims for a jumper, or a heavier car either.
