On four separate occasions, while driving on New Jersey roads (two times on major roads) my vehicle struck a pot hole and the inside portion of the rim bent. I have replaced the rims with aftermarket aluminum alloy rims. According to wheel collision experts of allentown pa. BMW rims are there biggest customer. I have been driving in N.J. for 31 years and these are my first rim failures. I still have three rims available for inspection. These failures occured with only 22,000 miles on the car.
