What do you guys think about the role of tire pressure in all this? Could there be a higher likelihood of damage if the tire pressure is lower?

I've been using the slightly higher air pressure on the yellow placard on the driver door partly as a speculative precaution (the thinking being that less air will allow more sidewall flex, which might cause the rim to hit the road surface when going over the edge of pothole at higher speed).

Thoughts/feedback?

Also, anyone have a measurement on the thicker lip of the modified style 296 wheel? I'm trying to figure out which version of wheel is installed on my Dec 2011 build date car.

Back on topic: What about trying to recover from the city by using a process similar to the one outlined in this website for San Diego?
