Default Bent both my front rims this weekend

I hate potholes!





So help me find some rims that are really strong and wont get destroyed easily. I have/had 16" RPM rims (off brand). I'll spend the extra money this time on a good quality set that wont bend or crack anytime I hit a small bump in the road.



Oh and I want to stick with either bronze or gold again in 16" sizing. So give me some suggestions!

Volk TE-37's....They may run you $400 a wheel, but they won't break or bend.

I switched to higher profile tires to help cushion the effect of potholes.
