Welcome to city of pot holes.. If you got low profile tires with expensive wheels, its a 90 percent chance you have will have some kind of damage from minor to major. Freeze thaw/ deicing salts results in severe road damage. On average 16 tons per mile per lane deicing salts are used every year. This year it crossed above 25 and there was extreme shortage of salt.Update from this year 2013/2014. Worst pot holes and thousands of claims. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2k06n5[video=dailymotion;x2k06n5]http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2k06n5[/video]

i m using low profiles from last 5 years regularly.ALHAMDILILAH i never faced such a problem ever..it all depends how u drive..
I have faced the same problem back in 2009 but tires were 55 and the rims were USA made not even a dent or a scratch was amazed to see there durability....
hmmm i hve 20s on my vigo and clk has 18s!!!! but good old 13s no alloys on my xli!!
Sometime is un avoidable , u realize once u have already hit the pothole or any irregular pavement..
Had semi low's in my vitz 05.and was worst desicion.suspension got ruined badly and other problems while driving.

i had low profiles but i had to change them after 7000 KM ,they just ruin the suspension and ride quality in Pakistani road condition
I hope my 18's remain safe although on some roads i am like today is the day.. :-).
@omaryour xli has stock 15 rims buddy not 13. dont mix em with my city
its not about how u driveits all about which roads and places u drive if talking about tyre profile
really and i thought they were 13s so they 15s ! hashim u know more about xli then i do!!
Do you have low profile tires? Think twice
This above statement varies on application of tire : what driving speed and type/condition of road/track
using low profile from ages now and nott even a single time this kind of thing happened
