4. pot holes kill your rims

so IMHO, lo pro's belong at shows and not on the street. they are too impractical for the street.
There is no advantage of buying new rims and buying 50'/55' tires just cuz looks like stocks,it will looks that you recycle your tire, and for potholes is simple, just open your eyes and watch for thems
