I’m really surprised the bead didn’t brake/tire go flat.

I maintain that NYC is the worst place in the country to own a car purely from an abuse perspective.
Anyone who asks me to get a ride to NYC is promptly rejected, for this reason. I've hit potholes so hard my sunroof switch panel popped out of place (and no the clips were not broken or loose).


That is some really odd damage for you not to notice it. Did you let anyone borrow your car recently? Perhaps this happened with that person?

Hope you can find a replacement, man... damn.

That is just painful to watch. Hope you find a good replacement...

Peter - the X3 looks like a fun alternative to the baja e46 touring that we'll one day build. Definitely needs a larger diameter tire...but will you be able to handle the reduced acceleration???

ha. i realized it's actually running a larger tire already - stock diameter is 27.1", these are actually 27.7" (245/45/19 up front and 275/40/19 in the rear). if i keep these wheels i'll likely keep this tire size, otherwise i'll go down to 18's and run 235/55/18 (28.2" diameter... so 1.1" larger than stock).

as it sits, it's pretty quick and delivered 25mpg in mixed driving on our 2000km trip over the last 5 days. so that's a mega win-win. skinnier tires would help the fuel economy, and also i don't know if it really needs 275's in the back.

further to all of that... after putting 2300km on in the last week since picking it up, i've realized that it's a darn good handling vehicle... so i might not lift it at all and put 2" larger AT tires on it. it was great on our trip and my family loves it.

it IS going to get a bit of the ol' Slater Package though. some mounts need attention (rear diff and trans mount in particular), and i think i'm leaning towards putting FSDs on it!

(and YES to the Baja Touring!!)

mmmmmmm love me some track

If you bought the wheels from them then it's worth a shot. I mean you really don't have anything to lose by asking them. I think apex replaces broken/bent wheels for 50% the price.

You're most likely not going to get anywhere. It's not a warranty issue because there's physical damage that looks like it would have come from an external source. But... what have you got to lose other than some time? Might as well try...

Looks like something hit it.
