Long story short. I hit a pot hole on a back road at night. It cracked both my right wheels, the pictures will give you a better understanding.
 These pics are from d-day.      These next pics are after taking off the wheels      And the new wheels... which will be installed by tonight, pics tonight or tomorrow.    cant wait to install them. lesson learned, and new times are ahead. |

I call those mini ditches. Looks like it was a pretty deep hole to do that much damage.
