Rims keep bending - 10/27/2006 12:56:35 AM    jipmpizzle   Posts: 83 Joined: 6/17/2006 Status: offline My rims keep bending because I beleive my tires are not thick enough to provide a cushion for the rim. The rims I have are Excel C5. The tires I have now are Nankang NSII 215/35/18. I wanted to know what size tire u guys recommend so that my rims do not keep getting bent. Post #: 1
