  View original topic: Bent my rim today...

So I hit a rut going sideways came up in the air, then landed violently in another rut, caused the tire to rip (it was kinda rotten) and on my rotor one of the lugs was partially stripped, so apparently it ripped it out, and bent the wheel. So I'm going to need a new wheel, and rotor since 3 lugs isn't very effective, debating if I should go 5 lug, they do have those right? Running 15 in. tall x 8 in. wide wheels now. Opinions on wheels/tires/rotors? Suggestions etc.

Edit: Rear wheel, btw.

In the rear I'm running 4 lug with studs and a set of very thick Old Jackman wheels. Its rolled twice never broke or bent. As you will see in the videos they get used hard. Other vids at Youtube search for VW2180
