Was Vehicle Towed: -	Description of the Complaints: I own a mits.eclipse gsx and notice that they rims would get look banged up with out being able to tell how they were damage. one time a pot hole was to blame. not a huge pothole but a small normal pothole. i ended up with several flat tires in il when i lived there and the tire guys told me that eventually i would need to rims. when i moved to tx, i was forced to get new rims because the rims as they were would not pass their state's safety inspection. the cost was $250 each to fix, but there is no guarantee that they won't get damaged again. i was told by the shop that fixed them that they had done a lot of this model's tires and that a blowout was possible due to them. *ak
