I am sure in the right pothole, any wheels can get destroyed. I am pretty careful when I drive any car and tend to avoid most potholes all together. Still, I have hit a couple with the 21" without any consequences so far. Keep in mind that the tire size I have has the same side wall height as what most people have in the 20" tires, that certainly helps me. Also, by now everyone knows that the OEM 19" run flat tires can cause wheel damage due to their stiff sidewalls. Sometimes if the pothole does not get you, your run flat tire can do the damage. I hate those freakin tires!!
Not one good word will come out of my mouth regarding the RFT of today.
