tire pressure was at ~90psi, aired them up before i went to his apartment. all axle nuts were torqued VERY tight. i usually follow by the "don't let anyone ride..." rule (especially with my car), but he took it for a quick spin around the parking lot. i just don't understand unless the rim was THAT weak.

tugrul, my bent wheel happened during a turn close to a u-turn but it happened to the REAR... now that just doesn't make sense to me haha.



anybody have any thoughts on that twin-wall velocity rim? looks pretty standard, nothing fancy but do you think it'd be much stronger than the ones i have now? they're just the bottom dollar steel replacements you can get for a dime a dozen.
