nice job on the mazdaspeed protege... is that the orange color with the gold flakes? cant really tell from the pics.. but if it is, i love that color.. my friend has that color. says he was gonna get a srt-4, but after driving the mazda, it handles like a dream..
to me, bending rims depends on luck.. i have hit the nastiest potholes when i had 17's, and didnt bend anything, and sometimes id hit small indents in the road, and bend a rim.. wth?? not to mention, that i have seem bent rojas, bent mayas (the silver sl55amg i detailed w/ pics on here), and bent lowenharts
