I was cautious and went over the first one at like 10 mph. That one was properly graded so no lip at all. Figured it was better road construction so I went over the second at about 35. That one had a 90* cuts with at least a 1" increase. Not sure if front wheels are bent or I'm just paranoid and feeling phantom vibration, but guess I'll find out tomorrow. On the plus side, the tires look perfectly fine and I didn't have to use the spare this time.

If the wheels are shot, I'll probably consider getting a full set of 17" wheels as opposed to replacing just the 2 bent 18" ones. Thin sidewalls + PA roads + my stupidity do not seem to mix well.

My 17's have served me pretty well so far on the shit tier roads around here. Like comically shit tier. Even the main freeway used to have these two incredibly bad 90 degree "transitions" between road and overpass section and I used to absolutely hate going over them.
